I want to cover my car, "handy woman" how did you install it? Also I am thinking of putting it outside as a window cover, anyone try that?

I installed it with tarp poles and tarp cords. The poles are anchored into the cement via the footings. I chose this as a temp structure, you can use a stronger pole and system for a permanent structure. Have not used as a window cover, purchase special solar screens for that.

Shade cloth on the outside of windows works great, but I would get beige rather than the black pictured here. I made lightweight wood frames and stapled the shadecloth to those, then attached them above and below the window with screws. This allows easy removal and replacement.

It is not tacked on. Use Velcro strips (male portion) glued or sewn on to fabric of the area surrounding the window.

The chrome cover does not fit that good. I would just change color cover for the omg chrome part it's not that much more money. Hope that help you out.

I didn't get any instructions with mine either, but I would say, wash your window and squeegee it on... We haven't put ours on the window yet... Wish I could tell you exactly how too... Enjoy it when you get it on :-)

As stated above. It's a very nice cover. A simple hose off with garden hose and scrub brush would do it. Its waterproof, so you could even just use a really damp towel and get it clean without taking it out of the car.

With time the cover gets larger. The strap that goes under install a snap or hook instead of just tieding it. After a shot time I could cover the car in about 2 min. unad uncover it in the same time. Also sew on a(small) red flag on the front therefore it will be easier to know the front front the rear.

Ive covered mine with a cover I bought for like 20 dollars on amazon. Obviously wait till its completely cool before covering it. The Covers helped so far !

I think once you applied to the window, you could then paint it. I haven't tried this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work and worst case scenario...if it doesn't look good after you paint it, rip it off.

Hello, I don't understand why would you put on a car that has windows. However, if the windows are blocked, I guess the best place would be the highest point on the back or trunk. New cars come with them installed around the license plate. My suggestion is to turn the camera on first before installing and find an angle suitable first before making a hole. Good Luck.

Several folks have said they made a bracket of PVC pipe to extend cover....can one of them explain just how they did that?Found some photos of a bracket on Buggiesgonewild.comHad to register to see photos. Look under Roof Extension - 2 Passenger to 4Helps but not there yet.

Don't worry about the windows (glass). Depends on your vehicle and at what angle it rests on the back for the paint question. I modified mine slightly. I installed a lightweight, but strong piece of laminated panel on the inside bottom for rigidity. If not, it can sag in the middle. Be sure to round off the corners or the wood could tear holes in the corners. Then I attached a strip of heavy felt along the bottom edge and in the middle where it makes contact with the vehicle. I have found this a very nice item, and it doesn't kill your gas mileage like ones that you put on top of the car.

This let's in plenty of light. Its has netting /mesh vinal cover. Not air tight on the windows. I sewed velcro around the windows to seal them an put a heater inside. I think u may be colder than hear in California but over night I would suggest covering it with another plastic layer to help hold heat in for your type of weather. They have Velcro windows but not sealed all the way that's where I finished up with. Velcro around windows

I rolled it out for th width if the window and pieced for the height of the window as it was easier to match th pattern. You can see where I pieced it up close but not from a distance so much. I figured if it looked bad I could cover it with a long valance. It is great for privacy which is what I was looking for and still let's light in.

I agree with Mr Simmons... too thin. Unless you folded it, which you will unless your windows are huge... There is probably foam you can buy for this purpose

Its for the outside. It is meant for the windshield but I put it on my back window.

It has to go on the outside of the window. It is a "rub on" sticker. So you position it and then rub and peel. The sticky side would necessitate that you put it on the outside of the window. It was a little bigger than I expected but it is a great design and holding up well.

Ours came woth instructions. U have 2 ways to do it. Can place it in the border of the window or on the window moldings. Dont use the screws it comes with they are cheap
