Product Information
Full details
The STHELENS Car Windscreen Cover is designed for car owners seeking year-round protection for their vehicle's windscreen. Its primary benefit is acting as a 'mobile garage,' shielding against various weather elements like sun, frost, snow, and dust. A potential caveat is ensuring the magnetic attachment is secure on vehicles with non-ferrous bonnets. Key features include a durable, waterproof construction, secure door-flap and magnetic fastening, integrated wing mirror covers with reflective strips, and ease of storage.

FAQs
Is this cover suitable for all car sizes?
The cover is designed for general compatibility. While it aims to fit most standard car windscreens, very large or unusually shaped windscreens may not achieve a perfect fit. The magnetic and flap system provides flexibility.
Can I leave the cover on my car overnight?
Yes, the cover is designed for overnight use, especially for protection against frost, snow, or dew. Ensure it is securely fastened before leaving it unattended.
How do I clean the windscreen cover?
The cover is washable. You can wipe it with a damp cloth or hand wash it with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before folding and storing.
Will this protect my car from bird droppings or tree sap?
Yes, the cover provides a physical barrier that can protect your windscreen from bird droppings, tree sap, and other environmental contaminants. It's recommended to clean the cover after contact with such substances.
What materials is the cover made from?
The cover is constructed from waterproof soft aluminum film, PP cotton, and non-woven fabric, designed for durability and weather resistance.
Are the wing mirror covers separate?
No, the wing mirror covers are integrated into the main windscreen cover design and include reflective strips for enhanced visibility.
What should I do if the magnets don't stick well?
If magnets don't adhere well, it might be due to the bonnet material (e.g., aluminum). In such cases, ensure the side flaps are firmly secured inside the car doors for primary fastening.
Troubleshooting
Magnets not adhering strongly
Ensure the bonnet surface is clean and free of debris. This cover is best suited for steel bonnets; on aluminum or composite bonnets, rely more on the door flaps for security.
Cover does not fit windscreen properly
Adjust the position of the cover and ensure the side flaps are tucked evenly into the doors. The cover is designed for general fit but may require minor adjustments for specific vehicle models.
Reflective strips are dirty
Gently wipe the reflective strips with a damp cloth to restore their visibility.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides comprehensive protection against various weather conditions.
- Easy to install and remove with magnetic and flap system.
- Improves vehicle visibility at night with reflective strips.
- Durable and waterproof materials ensure longevity.
- Simple to clean, fold, and store.
Cons
- Magnetic attachment may not be effective on all bonnet materials (e.g., aluminum or carbon fiber).
- Wing mirror covers might not fit all mirror designs perfectly.
- Requires manual installation and removal for each use.
- Potential for scratches if grit or debris is trapped between the cover and the windscreen during installation.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unfold the cover and position it over your car's windscreen.
- Secure the three integrated magnets to the edge of the bonnet.
- Tuck the two side flaps securely into the car doors. Close the doors to trap the flaps, ensuring a snug fit.
- Ensure the wing mirror covers are positioned over the mirrors.
Compatibility:
The cover is designed for general compatibility. However, the effectiveness of the magnetic attachment depends on the bonnet material. It is best suited for vehicles with steel bonnets. For cars with aluminum or carbon fiber bonnets, rely primarily on the door flaps for securing the cover.
Care:
- Cleaning: The cover is washable. Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt or debris. For more thorough cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before storing.
- Storage: Fold the cover neatly after ensuring it is clean and dry. Store it in a dry location, such as the boot of your car or a garage.
