IMPORTANT WARNINGS - PLEASE READ BEFORE USING COVER!
WARNING TO OWNERS OF REPAINTED VEHICLES: Use of a cover on any recently painted
surface may cause damage to that surface! If your vehicle has been repainted, check with
the painter or body shop on the specifics of how and when you can use this cover.
WARNING FOR USE IN HIGH WIND AREAS: When using this cover in high wind areas (and
for prolonged storage), use the loops and rope provided to securely pull the cover tight under
the center of the car. This should be done even if the optional lock and cable is being used.
The cover is not designed to replace a garage and should be checked for flapping in high winds.
If wind goes under the cover, it can cause it to work loose and come off the vehicle.
PERSONALIZED MARKING INSTRUCTIONS: The application of large letters and/or numbers
on the side or front of the cover showing the vehicle's license plate or name(s) is one of the
best methods for protecting your cover against theft. If you choose to put identification
markings on your cover please note the following:
- DO NOT use regular or spray paint!
- DO NOT use laundry markers or “permanent” type Magic markers.
- DO NOT use any type of felt-tip pen or marker.
The only type of marking paint that is acceptable for use on this material is a permanent type
fabric/T-shirt paint. This paint is readily available in a variety of colors at most fabric and art
supply stores. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. You may need to use more than a single
coating of the fabric paint for marking the outside of the cover with your personalized markings.
WARNING - Markers and regular paint will not adhere to the fabric and can transfer their color
onto the vehicle finish.
HAZING OF WINDOWS AND PAINT: Airborne pollutants may be deposited on the windows
or paint while a vehicle is being driven or when parked uncovered. These deposits may
become smeared and create a haze when the cover is used. The haze can be wiped off with
a damp cloth or washed off with water.

Your new WeatherShield® cover is manufactured with a durable fabric, finished
with the patented Nextec® encapsulation process. The material provides a high
degree of protection against all weather conditions, dust, birds and tree droppings,
pollutants and salt air, while remaining breathable and soft against any fine paint
finish. It's light weight, easy to handle, and compact to take up minimum storage
space. Best of all, it can be easily cleaned in most home washing machines and
dryers.
Figure "A"
INSTALLATION
The front of the cover has been marked with a logo or a pattern number and the word
“front” to help in positioning the cover on the vehicle (see Fig. A). If your cover is
equipped with mirror pockets (most late-model custom-fit patterns only), it is very
important that the mirror pockets be placed over the side mirrors before the ends
of the cover are stretched over the front and rear bumpers.
Some vehicles have very sharp bumpers, hood ornaments, moldings, etc. We
recommend that you reinforce the inside of the cover at areas exposed to severe
abrasion using cloth-reinforced duct tape or Mystic brand tape which may be
purchased at hardware, plumbing or automotive stores. This will help extend the
use of your WeatherShield cover.
NOTE - If your vehicle has an outside radio antenna which will not retract flush
with the body of the vehicle, remove the antenna before installation of the cover.
Remove the antenna by unscrewing the mast from the base. The first time you
do this a tool may be needed to loosen the mast. Use care not to scratch the mast
or base. The antenna should then be installed and removed by hand, tighten it
hand-tight. If you choose to create an opening in the cover for the antenna, follow
these instructions:
1) The most accurate way to make an antenna opening is to remove the antenna
and install the cover on the vehicle, making sure it is properly aligned and
NOTE - Car covers are not designed for use when towing. Serious damage can
occur to the cover and the paint surface of the vehicle may also be damaged.
If you use a cover for towing you do so at your own risk.
