CarsCover Custom Fits for 2001-2024 Ford F150 Crew Cab 5.5ft Short Bed Box Truck Car Cover Premium Xtrashield Black

Update 2 years after buying:The cover is in tatters, apparently from too much sun on it. I stopped trying to repair it about 7 months ago but just now got around to replacing it. The duct tape is all gone (having fallen off), but the repaired strap is still hanging in there (I used Gorilla glue...really). The right side mirror cover fell off, there is a huge tear in the hood area, a large tear around the antenna (once the duct tape fell off, the fabric just ripped at ease).The funny thing was how hot the truck gets under the cover (it's like no cover is there) and the build up of dirt under the cover (seems to come right in and then stay there).I am now trying a new cover from another manufacturer and see if it is any better or worse.Update 1 year 5 months after buying:The car cover has fallen apart. Large rips in the fabric I have been repairing with Duct Tape. Today the wind ripped the car strap off the fabric, so I can either keep on trying to repair or find a better car cover. Given the problems I have had with this one - a new one from a different manufacturer is warranted.I have continued to have problems with heat (Who knew a car cover could let in all of the heat from sunlight?), its a dust magnet (dust settles through it and then rain is shed away, so you end up with a very dirty car), and its always been hard to get it on (getting the strap under the car is difficult at best).So, you can count on 12 to 17 months of life for this product. Mine was in the garage about half of the time. Make sure you have duct tape handy.Update:I have been using this cover now for slightly more than 6 months. It is on my truck about 50% of the time, and in the garage folded the other 50%. I do not store it wet but ensure it is dry first. The cover lives an easy life - it is never anywhere but on the truck in the driveway, or in the garage.It has begun tearing apart. I knew the antenna hole was getting bigger but tonight when I put the cover on there was a big rip in the cover. Mystified, I tugged at it and tore another inch with ease. The fabric appears to be deteriorating due to being out in the sun...go figure. I have never been impressed, but this is getting ridiculous. Good thing I have a good roll of duct-tape.There are multiple problems with this cover and I have no idea if these are common between other covers or not, but the ones that bother me are: 1) Doesn't protect the vehicle from dust, and in fact seems to result in a much dirtier surface. I live in Texas, so there may be more dust in the air here then other places, but I was shocked at how much dirt is under the cover when I lift it. 2) Getting the strap under the vehicle is a royal pain. I am glad there is a strap, but I wish they had put just a little forethought into how one is supposed to get it buckled under the vehicle. We have high winds in Texas and a strap buys a little insurance the cover will remain in place. 3) It is hard to tell left from right and front from back when you first start trying to untangle the cover. A nice wide strip at the top front would have been nice. 4) There is no way to enter the vehicle once the cover is on. I have an old cover for my old car that has zippered access to the driver-side doorway, and now appreciate this old cover much more.Very disappointed in the cover falling apart at 6 months. I will try a more expensive cover from another manufacturer next time round.--- Old comments from soon after buying the cover...Not very impressed with this cover. I am using a cover to protect my truck from constant sunlight exposure. I made sure to thoroughly clean the truck to reduce any scratching that might occur due to wind on the cover. I should not have bothered.The cover is a dirt magnet - not sure how this works but after taking the cover off after a week my nice clean truck was covered in pools of dried dust/dirt. Apparently the dust settles onto the cover and the rain brings it through, and then protects the dirt from being washed off the truck! This was not expected. My truck has never looked as dirty as the day I took the cover off. Sigh.I put a stump style antenna on before putting on the cover. By the next day the antenna was poking through the cover in a hole it made. That didn't take long, but I don't really care as the cover is still protecting the interior from sunlight. It does not bode well for the durability of the cover. Guess I will add some kind of reinforcement to the hole - at least its in the exact right spot!Getting the strap of the cover onto the truck, I have to tie a weight on the tie-down strap and throw it under the truck - not convenient BUT so far it has stayed in place through a few storms. This is not something you want to do on a daily basis, and if you have any "back" trouble then forget it.My mirrors do not fit into the mirror pockets of the cover, but they do fold in so that wasn't a big issue either. Seems they should have made the mirror pockets bigger to accommodate more kinds of mirrors (the smaller mirrors would still fit after all).The cover is an absolute nightmare to get into place if any kind of wind is blowing - even intermittently. I am thinking of modifying the cover to have some rubber covered hooks to make placement easier. Some kind of weights on the corners might also work, but nothing that can damage the vehicle in a wind.Overall, the cover works for what I bought it for, but unlikely to last for years as I had hoped. Its a lot more trouble than I was expecting, but that may be true with all covers.

not dust proof

Fits my 4 door f150 like it was made for it. Does not keep dirt out though. Good cover to keep sun out of cab but doesn’t pretext from weather or dirt getting under cover. Water either even light rain. Price is good though and fit is really good

Very nice fitting cover for purpose (dustcover/suncover only).....but....Lack of $2 snap in grommet, or factory-made hole is pretty lame for the $40,000+++ trucks this cover fits. It's understandable to not try factory fitting the hole location (since cover bably has to fit more than one truck), but not tossing in a cheap grommet is a ridiculous oversite. Nobody wants to put a wrench on their black painted antenna every time they throw the cover on or off...........You're missing the boat on not adding a simple logo option to help identify front...."Ford", "Chevy" or just "Front"/"Back" is the minimum. Or even the manufacturer's name on the "front"....this is a no brainer. Holy cow, just sew a red tag in the front hem....... I can find both the grommet and an applique label for pennies, but why should I have to? Nearly every single less than perfect score on the reviews for this product address antenna hole, "front" clue, or both. BTW.....an antenna grommet READILY identifies the front orientation of the cover...want to kill two complaints with one solution? White is an available choice fro easy visibility.....

Keep in mind its good at first and fits my moms truck though... it does rip easily.. Be careful if you have a custom Atena. Anything sharp can rip it and if you have cats walking around they can rip it too if they claw at it. Its sorta good material at the same time cheap. For the custom atena we put a water bottle for it to keep it from not ripping.

Was sturdy and a great value!

Awful, my poor husband was so happy to receive this product, until it rained when he took off the cover our truck was so soak and wet, it was awful. Due to some unforeseen circumstances due to my husbands his health, I was unable to return the product in the limit given. 😔
