Sew in magnets solution <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 1<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure the sheet is able to cover the whole of the car\u2019s windscreen, mirrors and the first two front mirrors, whilst leaving a good 5 cm excess around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next with the sew-in magnets<\/a> simply sew them in evenly around the edge of your sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, in the evening simply apply the sheet to the frame of your car. The excess material will allow you to pull the sheet tight to ensure the sheet flush to windscreen, to help avoid any frost from sneaking in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magnetic\nCurtains<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curtains are a great way of keeping the heat in! However, curtains can move around or not meet properly, causing cold air to creep in.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution: Like the with the magnetic car cover simply,  sew in magnets to the hems of your curtains, ensuring they line up on the opposing curtain. When they close, the curtains will close snug, for them cosy nights in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
