3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the car cover and secure it with the gust straps.
3.1 Installing the Car Cover
- Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure your SUV is clean and dry before applying the cover. Remove any sharp objects or accessories that could potentially damage the cover.
- Unfold the Cover: Carefully unfold the car cover and identify the front and rear sections. The front typically has a label or a distinct shape for the mirrors.
- Position the Cover: Place the cover over the roof of your SUV, aligning the front with the vehicle's front bumper.
- Drape and Adjust: Gently pull the cover down over the sides, front, and rear of the vehicle. Ensure the elasticized hems at the front and rear fit snugly around the bumpers.
- Mirror Pockets: If your cover includes mirror pockets, guide them over your side mirrors.
3.2 Securing with Gust Straps
The included gust straps provide additional security against wind and adverse weather conditions.
- Attach Clips to Cover: Identify suitable points along the bottom edge of the car cover, typically near the wheels or along the side skirts. Attach the durable clips to these edges. The clips are designed to securely grip the fabric.
- Connect Bungee Cords: Hook one end of a 61-inch bungee cord to a clip on one side of the vehicle.
- Route Under Vehicle: Carefully route the bungee cord underneath the vehicle to the opposite side.
- Secure to Opposite Side: Hook the other end of the bungee cord to a clip on the corresponding position on the opposite side of the vehicle.
- Repeat for Second Strap: Repeat the process with the second bungee cord, typically securing it towards the other end of the vehicle (e.g., one at the front, one at the rear).
- Check Security: Ensure all straps are taut and securely fastened to prevent the cover from lifting in strong winds.

5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your car cover.
- Cleaning: To clean the cover, gently brush off loose dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow it to air dry completely before folding or storing. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Always ensure the cover is completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the cover neatly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Strap Care: Inspect bungee cords and clips periodically for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain secure fastening.
6. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Cover Does Not Fit Snugly: Ensure you have the correct size cover for your SUV. The Coverado SUV cover is designed for vehicles between 170"-190" in length. Adjust the elasticized hems and ensure gust straps are taut.
- Cover Blows Off in Wind: Verify that the gust straps are correctly installed and securely fastened to the cover and under the vehicle. Ensure the clips are firmly attached to the cover's edge.
- Water Accumulation: While the cover is waterproof, ensure it is draped properly to allow water to run off. Avoid creating pockets where water can pool.
