Windshield cover fix

I bought a windshield and side window cover for a very nice price, but I found that it tended to sag at the top center of the windshield, especially when wet and heavy.

I solved this by adding 3/9" grommets each 4" along the top and stringing a 48" flat bungee cord through the grommets so that the cord is under tension when the cover is installed.

The cord stretches enough so that one door at a time can be opened far enough to get in or out of the coach.

I apologize for the upside down image. I even rotated it before uploading and it had no effect. It was taken with a Samsung S7.

Hmmm...did you get your windshield cover from the Sprinter store?

That's where ours came from years ago, and it has never sagged.

Also, I have found that editing a photo, using the moveable corners to shrink the size a bit, keeps them from posting sideways or upside down.
