Extra Tips for a Stronger Hold

If you want extra security and long-term hold, these tips are used successfully by many customers:

• Use the inside-top method:
Open the garage door fully and apply the Velcro along the very top across the door panel. Attach the top of the cover while the door is open, then slowly close the door. Once closed, the cover sits behind the weather stripping and is pressed firmly against the frame for a locked-in hold.

• Reduce tension on the Velcro:
Attach the elastic hooks slightly lower on the door and fully extend the hooks. This minimizes upward pressure and helps the Velcro stay secure.

• Press Velcro firmly:
When applying Velcro strips, press evenly and firmly for 10-15 seconds to ensure strong adhesion.

These steps greatly improve stability and help keep your cover secure over time.

Important Measuring Guide

Measure From Inside The Garage Door

For the most accurate size, garage door measurements should be taken from the inside of the garage door, not from the outside frame or trim.

You can also check the size sticker located on the side of the garage door panel. This is often the easiest way to confirm your correct door size.
