Duck COVER DEFENDER SERIES: TOO LARGE FOR 2-DOOR GEO / CHEVY TRACKER

I bought this Duck cover (Defender Series) for a 1996 Geo Tracker 2 Door. According to the description in the ad, it is a Jeep/SUV. Revain says it matches a 1996 Geo Tracker found in My Garage. I also have a 1998 2 door Chevy Tracker of the same size. When I received my order it was packed in a very large Revain box. Inside the packaging box was a clear plastic bag with a duck cap inside, no retail packaging, no description, just a clear plastic bag. Suitcase storage bag and instructions. Also attached was what appeared to be a thick rope [more on that later]. In the instructions that came with the cover, it says at the bottom that the Defender Series cover is guaranteed for 2 years. NOT 4 years as advertised on Revain. The 4-year guarantee is one of the main reasons for ordering this case. I've already looked through 2 covers from another company which lasted about 9 months before dry rotting in the hot Florida sun. So the 4-year warranty sounded great. The main reason for the TWO STAR rating is that the cover is TOO BIG for my geo tracker. The front, left, right, and back sides of the cover cover at least 6 inches from the floor. I don't know if this will be a good or bad thing in the long run but I was hoping for a snug fit like my previous covers. I have no way of attaching the cover to my car as all the sockets are on the floor. I'll post a photo over the weekend. I'll probably end up putting something heavy on all four sides on the part of the lid that touches the bottom. This pushes it down a bit without being too tight on my car. We have 2 months of hurricane season left so hopefully this will work out. Did I send the wrong size case? I don't know because as I said the case came in a clear plastic bag with no description, no retail packaging, no information. Grommets are actually more like a rope than a rope. In my opinion it's too thin to be useful. As for the cover itself, it appears to be well made. Seems to be much better made than other cases I've bought. I'll see how it fares in the hot Florida sun.
