It’s $22 minus the 20% HF Coupon.



Next is the tricky part. How to adhere/fasten along the top.



If you use magnets, they need to be powerful enough to hold. So my research suggests that they run about $30 a piece.

You would need 8 magnets minimum (that is 4 across on inside mounted permanently and 4 sewn into the mesh material).



For this trip, I will probably use 3M plastic hooks along the top outside

The bottom can lay under the wiper blades.



With a little creativity, and all of the Vegas/Axis owners...this could turn into a small business opportunity.

How are you going to attach the plastic hooks. I have earth magnets that are very strong reflecting is very light. But I like your idea better. How are you going to place the material on the hooks carry a ladder
