How to Install a Windshield Cover?
3 Answers
Use the left-hand glove of the electric scooter windshield cover to encase both the left handbrake and grip of the scooter, then secure the straps. After fitting the left-hand glove of the windshield cover, fully unfold the windshield cover in preparation for fitting the right-hand glove. Once the windshield cover is unfolded, insert the right hand into the windshield glove and secure the straps of the right-hand glove. After securing both gloves, sit on the electric scooter, cover yourself with the windshield cover, and insert your hands into the windshield gloves to confirm the installation is complete.
I have quite some experience with installing windshield covers. Here are my suggestions: First, prepare your materials and find a clean spot, like a garage or sheltered area. After taking out the windshield cover, gently spread it flat to avoid creases. Then, clean your car's front windshield—wipe off dust, bird droppings, etc., with a damp cloth, and dry it with a clean cloth afterward. Excess moisture can cause the cover to slip off. Align the cover properly and slowly lower it from the roof downward, ensuring all edges are correctly positioned. Some covers come with magnets or adhesive straps—press them firmly to avoid gaps. I learned the hard way once when I forgot to secure it, and it got soaked in the rain overnight. The benefits include preventing ice in winter and blocking sunlight in summer, saving you the hassle of defrosting in the morning. After each use, wipe the cover dry, fold it neatly, and store it in the trunk to prevent sun damage. Regularly check the magnets or straps for wear and tear, and replace them if damaged to avoid mid-use mishaps.
Hey, I almost made a fool of myself last time when installing the windshield cover by myself! The process is actually quite simple: first, park the car and turn off the engine, then take out the windshield cover and lay it flat on the ground. Next, clean the glass area, making sure to wipe off any water stains. After that, slowly lift the cover and place it over the car—I usually start from the roof and smooth it down toward the windshield. The key is to secure the edge hooks or magnets firmly, as strong winds can easily flip it. The first time I didn’t take it seriously and just tossed it on carelessly, but when it drizzled, everything got soaked and I had to redo it. Now, I install it on clear days when I have a few spare minutes. Keeping it in the trunk makes it convenient and hassle-free to use, especially in winter when I put it on before frost to avoid early-morning scraping. I’ve also tried adding some lubricating powder to the adhesive strips to make removal smoother. It’s a practical item, but don’t rush and overlook the details.
