The product has a 2 inch slit after 60 days of wear. I'm not sure how he got there. The cover has probably been flipped and rotated 10 times in the past two months. At first I thought it was great because it came with a lock and all. This is the only way to keep it locked to hold the lid. I was able to tow it on the front and back of the car, but in high winds it would probably blow away without it. This item has no plastic latch to hold it front or back like other car covers. As far as I know this item is not covered under warranty so I cannot exchange it due to the slit in the cover. The coating has only been used in my garden and not in public so I am disappointed that I have to replace this car coating with another one as I have a new paint job and my goal was to protect the car from dirt and sun.
