Are there tie-downs, straps or elastic to keep the car cover secure and in place?
Cable and lock kits are available to help keep the car cover in place, but these also help prevent someone from walking away with your cover. Car covers have areas just below the driver’s and passenger’s door that is reinforced with double ply fabric and grommets are installed for use with tie downs (i.e. cable lock kits and bungee cords). Car covers have elastic along the bottom of the cover that runs the length of the front and rear bumpers, resembling a bed sheet. The area along the bottom of the cover is tapered, like the bottom of your pants or jeans. In high wind situations or open areas custom covers with mirror pockets have a benefit when it comes to keeping the cover in place. The pockets act like anchors helping to ensure proper installation, as well as, help to keep the car cover in place.
