a few tips to make this installation easier.
For a smooth fit:
For ease in installation, this product should be installed
at temperatures above 72 F. Below this temperature,
the fabric may contract an inch or more, making it
difficult to fit to the vehicle.
It is normal for the fabric to contract and wrinkle when
stored in the shipping carton. Within a few days after
the installation, the fabric will relax and the wrinkles will
disappear.
