Please read this manual thoroughly before beginning the installation. After completing installation, keep this manual for further

Tips for Easier Installation and Care
[] Before Installation, wash and wax your vehicle. Use a paste wax—not a spray—on the hood and fenders in order to maintain the finish
underneath the Coverking® Front End Cover.
[] Install the Front End Cover in temperatures of 70˚F (21˚C) or higher. The warmth will make the fabric more pliable and will allow it to
stretch slightly for a tighter and smoother fit.
[] Do not use vinyl cleaners or protectants on your Coverking® Front End Cover. These cleaners reduce the breathability of the vinyl and
will void the Coverking® Warranty.
[] Do not install the Coverking® Front End Cover on any vehicle that does not still have its original factory paint. Coverking® will not be
held liable for any warranty claims of paint damage to repainted vehicles.
[] Remember that the Front End Cover also protects paint from fading due to sunlight while the rest of the car is exposed.
Coverking® will not be held liable for any warranty claims on sun-faded paint.
[] Caution :
There may be elastic straps described in some sections of this manual that can snap back if not properly hooked. To
avoid injuries, exercise caution and use safety glasses when installing.
[]
DO NOT PULL UP ON THE CLIPS OR THE FABRIC TO REMOVE THE COVER.
When removing the cover, it will be easiest to
reverse the installation steps.

The Hood Cover
One of the features that makes your Coverking® Front End
Cover the very best available is the separate Hood Cover.
This means that you can access the engine compartment
without removing or adjusting the cover. Install the Hood
Cover first, by following these steps:
Step One
Open the hood and slip the Hood Cover over the front
edge of the hood. Make sure that the corners of the hood
fit snugly into the corners of the Hood Cover. When the
Hood Cover fits snugly, stretch the fabric at the straps
to remove major wrinkles.
Step Two
Pull one of the straps sewn to the Hood Cover to the hole in
the hood's underside, as shown in Figure 1. Adjust the Buckle
Hook so that it is about 1/2" away from the hole. Now pull the
strap down and slip the Buckle Hook into the hole. To release
the tension on the webbing for adjustment of the strap, simply
pull out on the tab on the Buckle Hook (see Figure 2).
The Strap should be quite taut (as taut as possible without
tearing). Relocate the Buckle Hook if necessary to tighten. Tie
off excess strap to keep free of the engine compartment. Now
repeat this process with the strap on the other side.
Note: Check all straps periodically to insure tension. Adjust
tightness if necessary.

Step Three
With the Hood Cover in place, pull the fabric on the sides of the
hood around to the underside of the hood on both sides. This
will insure maximum tightness of the Hood Cover (see Figure 3).

Step Four
The remaining strap provides better tension and stability for the
cover. Stretch the strap across the underside of the hood and
thread it through the buckle on the opposite side (see Figure
4). Do not twist the strap. Pull the strap as tight as possible.
Loop the excess strap back through the buckle to keep it out of
the engine compartment (see Figure 4b). Again, make sure
that the strap is taut.
