What security lock cover do you recommend to keep it from blowing away in a carwash or from thieves?

If you notice inside the Hard Cover there is a small loop/ring that you can run a cable lock through it and the steel wheel. I got mine from the cover vendor. I though my was stolen the first week I had it then realized that the car wash blower does blow it off. Fortunately I had already installed the cable lock and I came home with it hanging loose but stiill on the wheel.it I doubt if the cable/lock will truly deter a determined thief but it will sure make it harder to take off. Hope this helps.

I didn't know about the loop for the cable. It has an elastic part which covers the tread and backside of tire. The hard cover always looks awesome because it is always tight, stays in place and doesn't wrinkle. It withstands car washes very well but it can be removed, not too easily, by anyone really determined to have it. For better protection you need the cover with metal around the tire as well so it can be secured with a padlock on the lower side--more expensive but perhaps worth your peace of mind. I bought two of these and like them so much I intend to buy two more for my trailers. If someone wants something of yours, they'll figure a way to take it away from you. Enjoy while you can.

We installed several of these across the van doors (side and back and even our showroom back doors) after we suffered several break-ins. You will need to buy Master Lock shackles or brackets for these locks. They are bolted across the opening between the doors and this locks, this lock will then keep both doors together. Never had a problem with theft since then!

It is not completely watertight. I've had no problems in rainy weather, but the car wash can get past the seal. The contents are safe in the rain. It's a great cover. Thumbs up.

Yep. You'll get a sticker that has the unique serial number associated with the laser cut pattern of your locks. Three stickers actually, and the instructions explain to put one in the vehicle and one in a safe place outside the vehicle. Major selling point of McGuard locks to me. JackWAGON thief can't go to autozone to defeat the lock security. I also bought their door hinge locks. Same thing, and they are much lower profile than they appear in the Amazon photos.

whaaaat? Confucius says, The best way to prevent people from stealing is to prevent yourself from buying nice things that people will steal. But if you want a more simplistic answer...park your car inside a garage, superglue them on the wheels or I highly recommend getting 4 wheel lock clamp boots to protect this shiny investment. Good luck.

I found this lock to be durable. I used mine throughout the winter and its yellow protective covering to be effective against rust. The length of the lock is a plus, it makes it easier to access.

This was my concern also. In my opinion, yes, over time. I took a rectangular clear plastic top from a sealed container which covered an item I had purchased and attached it with stick on velcro to the side of this unit. It made a pretty good weather guard. The rotating lock code numbers are not weather proofed and could allow moisture in. To me, over time this would have to have a corosion factor.

we sell the Steal Shield coupler lock, I cannot answer any questions about this brand name other than " you get what you pay for " We believe the Steal Shield is the best, most secure lock available on the market. Sorry I can't answer your question about this brand.

There is no device that locks both the cover and the tailgate as one. The tailgate must be locked to prevent access to the levers that holdown the cover. With high theft rate of the tailgate themselves, I would purchase a retro-fit lock that is easily installed.

Yes. You can read about the anti-theft policy on their website. http://www.onguardlock.com/anti-theft The model number of this product is 8015.

put it inside the fence, use padlocks in addition to / instead of the bolts, use security nuts & bolts (require special tools - normal hex won't fit), tack weld the nuts to the bolts (makes it tough for you to remove them too, though), add a security camera (even a decoy camera might discourage a petty thief)

you might try padlocks with straight lock pins they come with various size pins. You can't stop a determined thief but you can make not worth the time.

I would look at the dense plastic automotive storage/tool type box sold at Walmart or any home improvement store. Water tight and can be washed out if needed. I only suggest this if you are not handy or have capability to make your own carry case.

It is a perfect fit and very heavy. It wont blow out. You definitely could put some sheet metal screws with washers at the ends and corners to prevent theft but I doubt it necessary. I have never bothered with theft and you couldn't blow this one out if you tried.

Never a problem. My cover is 3yrs old & I have a perpetual car was tag so I go through a lot. It flexes enough to make me nervous but I've never had any damage or failure.
