Troubleshooting
Cover not staying in place
Ensure the vehicle's wing surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or polish. Check that magnets are clean and suction cups are free from debris. Use a combination of magnets and suction grips for enhanced hold.
Marks appearing on paintwork
Verify that the vinyl material is clean and free from grit or abrasive particles. Ensure no sharp objects are trapped between the cover and the vehicle. Always ensure the cover is placed carefully and not dragged across the surface.
