Locking system for car covers
I like the fact of being able to secure covers for my vehicles. In most cases the cable and Master Lock works well. Even in very high winds, the cover may blow off, but the cable and lock keeps my car covers from blowing away. However when that happens I was afraid the lock, being so small would damage my cars but in the few times it happened the lock was being on the bottom was caught under the car. The clear plastic surrounding the label is good protection for the cars surrface

Works great, love it. The lock ferrule end just barely fits through my car cover grommet, but it does and it is good!

Helps secure car cover
I like the idea of making it difficult for unwanted removal of the car cover, but it fell alittle short for the truck cover. It works well for medium to small size vehicles, but not so well for larger sizes.

The cable and locking system keeps the car covered and safe with the lock

Perfecto, bastante útil para mis viajes por el mundo cuando me quedo en Hostales. De esta manera puedo asegurar todo mi equipaje , en una ocasión me sirvió para usar de cortinero en mi litera y colgar ahà una sábana para tener más privacidad hehehe. Lo recomiendo, si es un poco pesado pero el candado se ve de calidad.

Has a very basic lock, quite lame really. Eventually replaced it with a proper silicone jacketed padlock. The worst aspect is the length, it’s only just long enough for an E46 coupe. An extra foot would have been ideal so I can tuck the lock under the car capturing the cable and it’s hidden from view like I can on my other cable. I wish I could remember what the other cable was …
