Car Cover: Fits Lengths Up To 16ft 8in

Cover arrived in Manufacturer's box. No Amazon exterior carton. Easy to open. Cover is for a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. Fits snugly as I imagined it would. When they say it fits a 186" vehicle they mean it. My vehicle is slightly "larger" in that there is a chrome brush guard mounted in the front of the car. The cover still covered it very nicely. I like snug car covers as they are less apt to blow off in the wind. I am a short guy. 5' 7". The car is obviously over my head which makes getting the car cover ON the car, a little cumbersome. I think that will get better with more use and times taking the cover off and putting it back on. The cover comes with tags sewn on the inside seams. RED tag is BACK, GREEN tag is FRONT. Additionally in the front of the cover (on the outside) the BUDGE logo is screen printed on. Not large. But that logo makes it quite easy to figure which end is which without the sewn in tags. I tore my tags out (quite easily). The only con I can see with the cover (and this is just personal taste), the storage bag is SEWN by about 2 feet of material made into an umbilical cord. Guess you can't lose the bag but rather than leaving it lay on the ground in the back of your vehicle where it can easily get filthy, rained on, stepped on and generally abused, it IS tuckable beneath the cover and although visible ... no big deal. I cut that umbilical tether. The empty bag is NOTHING to store when it's empty. Mine will be stored in the car when the cover is in use. When not in use, the entire ensemble will be stored in my garage. Suffice it to say, I like the cover well enough to immediately alter some of it's items (front and back tags) and cut the bag clear of the cover itself. Cover is soft and fits snugly about the car. Elastic band ensure in a light wind, it won't blow off. Medium to heavy winds I wouldn't trust the cover to stay on the car. There are many way to secure the cover to your car so I will leave that to your imagination on how to accomplish that. The cover COMPLETELY cover all painted / molded plastic surfaces of the car. The lower third of your tires / rims are pretty much all that is exposed. Light weight and easily portable. Folds up to a small package and with it's own storage bag, makes it quite the item to have for your car. There is ONE OTHER CON: Your antenna. Car cover makers cannot possibly cover all locations that car manufacturers place antenna's in. Mine is roof mounted in the rear just forward of the rear hatch. I will fix that at well. Get the cover into place as best I can (making sure it is squarely on the car) then mark where the antenna hole needs to be cut. I use a paper hole punch to do this (not my first car cover). Then I take a needle and thread and sew around that hole so it doesn't rip / tear. If someone in your household can sew, they can help you with this. And yes you could even do it on a sewing machine as the material is that light weight. No fear of breaking needles BUT there is a lot of material to get under the machine to get to sew that tiny little antenna hole. Food for thought. Love the new cover. I am sure it will assist me in keeping the finish of my car in much better shape ... away from prying eyes, bugs, and those famous bird dive bombers. Smashed bugs and birds droppings will do SERIOUS DAMAGE to your paint job / polyglycoat in a matter of hours. PERMANENT damage. Ever had cosmetics (paint) done to your car? Dealership or body shop ... the labor rates are OUTRAGEOUS. Since writing the review above, the cover has been "updated" with grommets. The antenna now has a permanent grommet located where the antenna sticks through the cover. It is sandwiched with felt on the inside to protect the cars finish and marine grade vinyl on the outside to assist with tearing. The other 4 grommets were installed to make the cover "wind proof". Grommets were installed left & right side in front and back. They're located behind the rear tires and in front of the front tires. A bungee cord is used between the grommets to secure the cover and runs beneath the front and rear of the car (totally out of view). The cover will not blow off during high winds and will remain ON the car while protecting it from airborne debris. I can't say it's hurricane proof (and the car would never be left out in a hurricane anyway) but WILL remain on the car during winds of 30 - 40 mph. The grommets were purchased here on Amazon and easy to install. My other car cover will get the same update when weather permits. (my little roadster doesn't sit outside).
