It covers the whole carI like that this cover is lightweight. I don’t know how it would perform outside in weather. I use it for my sports car I keep in the garage. It’s great to keep the dust off and prevents scratches from others getting in and out of the car beside it. It’s perfect for what I needed.I bought this for my son's car while he is away at college. When the snow comes, I don't want to clear his car and mind. I tied the straps at the bottom thru his tire hub caps. The cover stayed in place for the most part and the snow landed on the cover, not on the car so I was happy with the performance of the car cover.This product is almost useless. It is similar to plastic crepe paper and not waterproofThis product I had decent hopes for a basic car cover that would work and at a good cost,Nope I get even less then I paid for and the car cover was as thin as a plastic shopping bag . I couldn't even get it on my car because it was so light, the tiny little push of wind kept blowing it off when I would put it back on the car. I gave up. I bought it , received it and same day returning this because your better off with nothing :)
