CoverCraft Form-Fit Quick reference guide

Form-Fit® premium quality indoor custom covers are manufactured with a
polyester knit fabric that has spandex in the yarns to allow the cover to stretch and
follow the contours of the vehicle. The addition of spandex helps the fabric retain
its original memory so the cover doesn't get "baggy" after extended use. During the
production process soft cotton loop is knitted in on the underside and then sheared
to a soft luxurious fleece-like finish. The material is breathable and soft against any
fine paint finish.
If your vehicle has an outside radio antenna which will not retract flush with
the vehicle body, you will have to provide an opening in the cover. We have
included a non-corrosive plastic grommet set for the antenna opening.
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
positioned. Using a sharp pencil, punch a hole through the fabric at the antenna
location. Be careful to avoid hitting the vehicle finish with the pencil. If the antenna
is not easily removed, see procedure #2.
2) Place the cover on the vehicle except for the fender or body panel where the
antenna is located. For example, if the antenna is located on the front passenger
side fender, roll or fold the cover away from the antenna and cover all the remaining
area of the vehicle. (Do not attempt to place the cover over the top of the antenna.)
Center the cover, align both seams with the roof edges and be sure the cover is
pulled down evenly over the front and rear bumpers. Carefully unfold the portion
of the cover that is next to the antenna and position it next to the base of the antenna.
Recheck the overall positioning of the cover to make sure it has not moved on the
vehicle. Make sure the cover lies flat over the hood and roof areas of the vehicle.
Mark the cover with the location of the antenna base and make a hole with a sharp
pencil.
Use sharp scissors to make the hole opening 1/2 inch in diameter and install the
grommet as shown in the diagram to the right. The outside grommet ring fit is very
tight. Place the cover on a CLEAN hard surface, position the the inside grommet
through the opening you made
and then secure the outside grom-
met snap-ring in place using a
rubber mallet. Do NOT use ex-
cessive force or the ring can be
damaged. Do NOT install the
grommet with the cover on the
vehicle.

IMPORTANT - When install-
ing the cover, remember to
place it over the antenna be-
fore putting the mirror pock-
ets over the mirrors.
INSTALLATION
The front of the cover is
markedwith apatternnumber
and/or logo and the word “front” to help in positioning the cover on the vehicle . 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 (see
Figure "A").
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 vinyl tape which may be purchased at
hardware, plumbing or automotive stores. This will help extend the use of your
cover.
REMOVAL
Thefollowingprocedurewillmakeiteasiertoremoveandinstallthecoverwhenever
it is used.
1) Release both ends of the cover from under the bumpers.
2) Fold up both sides onto the top of the vehicle into a long pile approximately 2 feet
(60 cm) wide (see Figure "B").
3)Startat the front of the vehicle and fold the cover inthree foot (1 meter)folds from
the front to the back (see Figure "C").
If you use the same procedure each time, you will find it only takes about a minute
to install or to remove the cover.
The elastic at each end of the cover will keep the cover in place under normal
conditions. Atie-down rope isalso included - secure it throughtheloopssewninto
the hem under the driver and passenger doors if needed. Use care in installing the
cover on a car which has just been driven to be sure the material does not come in
contact with hot exhaust pipes.
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
beenrepaintedcheckwiththepainterorbodyshoponthespecificsofhowandwhen
you can use this cover.
WARNING FOR USE IN HIGH WIND AREAS: This cover is not intended for
outdoor use, but if it is used 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.
If used outdoors check for flapping in high winds. If wind gets 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 cover 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.
Useasinglecoatingofthefabricpaintformarking 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: Airbornepollutants may be deposited onthe
windows or paint while a vehicle is being driven or when parked uncovered. These
depositsmaybecomesmearedandcreateahazewhenthecoverisused. Thehaze

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Car cover fabric performance can be severely affected by dirt that builds up on and
withinthe material. It can cause thewindshieldand paint tobecomedirty and “fogged”
aswellas create “wicking” where it actually helps pull water through the fabric, nullify-
ing any water resistant properties the fabric may have had. Cleaning your cover will
help to keep your vehicle clean and to increase the service life of the cover.
NEVER...Use fabric softener.
1 - Using a large commercial washer, wash the cover using 1/4 cup of Simple
GreenAll-Purpose Cleaner (small car covers can be easily washed in a home-
size washer). Put the cover in the washer and pour the cleaner in the tub after
it’s filled with warm water or, for some wall mounted commercial units pour it
directly in the machine, then put in the cover and start the machine. Use a
"gentle" cycle if available.
