Thread the web end of the strap through the
footman loop closest to the rear of the seat
on the Driver’s side. Fold the back of the seat

Care and Maintenance of your New Cargo Cover
Your Cargo Cover is made of the fi nest materials available. To keep it looking new and for the maximum possible wear, it will need
periodic cleaning and maintenance.
Washing: The fabric should be washed often using soap, warm water and a soft bristle brush. Rinse with clear water to remove all
traces of soap.
Water: Seeping through at the seams may be stopped by applying 3-M Scotchgard® on the inside of the seams. Rips in the fabric
may be repaired with Bondex® iron on patches. Iron the patches to the Inside of the top, carefully following the Bondex® instructions.
Snaps: Keep snaps cleaned and lubricated with silicone to help prevent snaps from sticking to the studs. If a snap does become stuck
to a stud, use a screwdriver and GENTLY pry apart to prevent permanent damage to the snap or the top fabric.
