Car Covers After The Hoildays

Well the holidays are here and will soon be over, If you were lucky and received a vehicle cover as a gift, the first thing you will want to do is try it on your car or other vehicle. If you need to return the cover, our company and other company's require it must be clean and include all the paper work that was sent with it. So, before you run out to put your new cover on your vehicle, please take the time to wash it and then when it is dry try the cover on for size. Then once you have the cover on the vehicle check to see if it fits correctly. Make sure the cover fits the vehicle from front to back without being too loose and covers from the bottom of the frame up.

There are many types of covers out there from custom to one size fits all. If you received a custom cover it will have mirror pockets for the mirrors and fit the car or other vehicle like a glove, if it does not fit like a glove then you didn't get the right cover for your vehicle. Once again make sure the vehicle is clean before you try it on. If there is a lot of loose material then you will want to check with the company you have purchased this cover from to make sure it is the right cover for your vehicle. A lot of companies like ours give you up to 30 days to return the cover clean and with all the paper work for a refund or exchange. Most times the company will not need your receipt for the cover to be refunded or exchanged, they will have the purchases on file and all you will need is the buyer name or your name if the buyer used your name as the ship to address.

Most covers today are semi custom covers and they don't have mirror pockets and will not fit like a glove, that's OK, the semi custom cover still does the same job as the custom cover. Once again before you try the new semi custom cover on your vehicle make sure it is clean and dry before you check the cover for size and fit. The cover will have elastic around the bottom in front and back and also have tie down holes in the middle so you can secure the cover in windy conditions. These tie down holes are also good for the use of a cover cable lock to keep people from taking your cover. This cover will not fit like a glove but at the same time shouldn't be so loose that the cover flaps in the wind. This will cause the cover to wear out quick and may damage your paint job by excessive rubbing.

There is one more thing that I would like to bring to your attention that is the antenna patch. Almost all covers come with an antenna patch, this patch will help the cover from coming apart when you make a hole for the antenna. To find the location for the antenna hole first place the antenna all the way down ore if it unscrews take it off, then put the cover on the vehicle (after you have washed it right?). Then find the place where the antenna will come through the cover and make a small hole. The smaller the hole the better, then take the antenna patch and press one on the inside of the cover and the other on the outside. This patch is a stick on, not an iron on, so don't try to iron this patch as you will melt the cover and damage it. The patches have a protective cover over the sticky part, you must peal the cover off and then stick the patch over the small hole. Then remove the cover and replace the antenna or leave the cover on and raise the antenna through the new hole with the patches in place.

I would like to say to all. I hope that you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope you got all the things you asked for, and if Santa didn't bring you a vehicle cover this year.
