Default Car Cover Straps

Ok we all have car covers that we have to tie up underneath the car or the cover comes off...and then when the wind coms by the string moves and have to start all over again......Happened to me yesterday!!!

So I have found these small magnets with rings in the that will hold 35 pounds... so got two of them and some nylon rope and tied it all together....it works awesome!!!! no climbing under the car to get the string!!!!

Pic of the magnet below.....got them at ace hardwere

great idea.. When I had my cars outside years ago I used to just use rope and tie 3 around the cover every time I covered them. PITA
