what say ye?
i put a coat of plasti-dip to help with at least 3 mpg.
It would be really bad to have a cover loosen at speed,in traffic,where you couldn't immediately get over to secure it,and then have it sling around on an unbroken safety wire,hammering the car until you could burn off speed,or get launched like a discus into an unwary motorist.
