3. Setup and Installation
Installing your FiveFox car cover is a straightforward process designed for single-person application. Follow these steps for a secure and effective fit:
- Prepare Your Vehicle: Ensure your vehicle is clean and dry before applying the cover to prevent trapping dirt or moisture, which could damage the paint finish.
- Unfold the Cover: Lay the car cover flat on the ground behind or in front of your vehicle, identifying the front and rear sections. The front is typically marked with a label or distinct shape.
- Position the Cover: Start from either the front or rear of the vehicle. Gently pull the cover over the car, ensuring it aligns with the vehicle's contours.
- Secure the Elastic Hem: The cover features an elastic hem. Pull this hem down around the bottom edges of the vehicle, ensuring it snugly fits around the bumpers and side skirts.
- Attach Wheel Straps: Locate the four wheel straps. Pass each strap around the corresponding wheel and secure the buckle. Adjust the strap tension to ensure a firm fit, preventing the cover from lifting in wind.
- Fasten Windproof Straps: Utilize the two additional windproof straps located on the underside of the cover. Connect these straps across the underside of the vehicle and tighten them to further secure the cover, especially in high-wind conditions.
- Check Fit: Ensure the cover is evenly distributed and all securing mechanisms are properly fastened. The cover should fit snugly, like a glove, without excessive loose fabric.
