Video Transcript for How to Install: Hopkins Winter Protection on your 2020 Ford Escape

Hey everyone, Charles here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Hopkins Double Protection Windshield Cover, here on our 2020 Ford Escape. This is gonna do two things. It's going to protect your windshield from the snow during the winter season, and it's also gonna keep your car cool during the hotter months. Installing this thing is super easy. Once you have it on the windshield you are just gonna open your door, and throw this hook and whatever excess flap you have left inside, and do that on both sides. And then make a connection on the inside.

And once you have both hooks inside the vehicle, I'm just gonna go ahead and hook 'em together. So overall, this thing works great if it fits, but over here on our Escape there's a lot of windshield and wiper blade showing. So to have a better fit and more protection from the snow, I highly recommend you check out the etrailer Two-in-one Windshield and a Wiper Blade Cover. And that was a look on our Hopkins Double Protection Windshield Cover on our 2020 Ford Escape..

Sorry but this product was a disappointment. I ordered it to cover the windshield and protect the interior from the desert sun. I lasted less than 30 days. The material curled up, exposing the interior to the sun, and the straps stretched out of shape so much a light breeze would lift it.



by:

I love my windshield covers. I use one on the front as well as the back window. They are quick and easy to install and they make cleaning the window after snow or ice so much quicker. I do, however, put the strap at the top. I found it keeps the cover snug at the top and stays in place better.



by:

Followed all the prompts an received a cover that was not even close to the correct dimensions

I looked up your previous order and you bought item # 288-06603 last time.



by:

This is a really great outside windshield cover. I just put it on last night before a snow storm hit overnight. Woke up this morning for work, and windshield was completely clear!! Saved a LOT of time. Snow AND ice free. It's not as big as I thought though. I have a Honda Accord and it didn't cover my wipers, but it's still a GREAT investment for Winter here!! I'm very satisfied with my purchase.



by:

Hopkins Windshield Covers Do the JobWe purchased two of Hopkins Winter Protection - Double-Sided Exterior Windshield Covers for both the front and back windshields of our vehicle. They are of high quality and very thick, providing excellent insulation against the cold and making tiresome windshield scraping on frigid mornings a thing of the past. Highly recommended!



by:

I expected this "one size fits all" product to be a little too big for my 1998 model Pontiac sedan windshield, but instead it is smaller than I would like. I cannot cover my entire windshield, so must make a choice between leaving the top 1/4 uncovered, bottom 1/4 uncovered or a portion of both the top and bottom uncovered... none of which is a great choice.
Oh well. It's better than nothing. Live and learn.



by:

This may look inexpensive, but it's actually works great. I have a Toyota Tacoma and it fits perfect, it also fits over my windshield wipers.



by:

I love this windshield cover for snow and ice. Put it on before the winter storm comes and when you take it off after the storm the windshield is clean and wipers are not frozen to anything. No cleaning and scraping ice off of windshield anymore!! great product



by:

The windshield cover are great and make get the ice off of your windshield fast and easy. The trailer tie loops are a great value. They help tying your load quickly.



by:

I have a Crosstrek, & although the fit is a little small, it is an excellent product. What I like is that it is easy to put on the windshield, and can be secured tightly. I would highly recommend this. The price is very reasonable, too.



by:

I was skeptical about this product when I read the reviews. I used it once so far and am very pleased at the results. The cover covered my entire windshield (Ford F250) and kept both the snow and ice off. I also like the fact that etailer has "how to" videos on many of it's products. It makes the buying decision process so much easier..



by:

I love it and it fits great, my neighbor's wanted to know where I got it and of course I said etrailer.

Thank you



by:

Fast delivery, great item. Just git the carrier today. After a quick, minor assembly, carrier is a designed and ready for use.



by:

Great product. My only complaint is that the elastic bands lose their tautness w/the passage of time. Perhpas a heavier gauge of elastic would resolve this issue.

Well, one of the straps came off and the silver coating has worn off in a couple of places, but it still keeps my windshield frost free for the most part!



by:

Shade broke the first time I tried to use it. It will NOT fit 2000 F150, 2004 F350 or 2014 F150

Thank you for your review. This is a universal fit windshield cover. You should measure your window before purchasing. The dimensions are: 70 Long X 29 tall



by:

Bought two of these, fit is very good on my sons Chevy S10 but the cover is a too small for my dodge ram 1500. Hopefully they will stand up over the winter.



by:

Fast delivery, great item. Just got windshield cover today. Item appears as designed and ready for first
snowfall!



by:

Great itemI thought it was a bit gimmicky but I needed to buy something to get the free shipping. I gave it to my son-in-law in Idaho. It is amazing. It snows there all the time and his window is always clear.



by:

looks good I haven't had a chance to use it. I would like to say one thing I just ordered this yesterday.Delievery was super quick.



by:

Cam as advertised. It was a small inexpensive item, but you came through without any problems. I will use you again and will not hesitate to purchase larger items. You attention to a small order gives creditability to larger orders.



by:

Used it a couple of weeks ago. It worke d!



by:

Came in a timely fashion. Looks as advertised. Haven't used it yet, but seems like it will do the job.



by:

Both products arrived as advertised. The pricing was great. I anticipate no issues.

  • Snow Windshield Cover Compatible with 2002 Bigfoot 30MH29RC Motorhome
    The etrailer Snoblock Snow and Ice Windshield and Wiper Blade Cover - 70" Wide x 39" Tall # 288-06603 is a great fit for your 2002 Bigfoot 30MH29RQ Class C motorhome and is my recommendation. There are a couple other options like the Hopkins Winter Protection - Double-Sided Exterior Windshield Cover # HM17511 and the Hopkins Heavy-Duty ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover # HM17529 which are designed for snow. I personally think the etrailer Snoblock is a better quality and more...

  • Winter Windshield Cover Sizing Options
    The etrailer 2-in-1 Exterior Windshield and Wiper Blade Cover # e98899 is 70" long by 39-3/4" tall and is designed to have a mostly universal fit. It will work for most cars, trucks, and SUVs. There is also the etrailer Snoblock Snow and Ice Windshield and Wiper Blade Cover # 288-06603 which is just slightly smaller at 70" long by 39" tall. So just 3/4" shorter. The only cover that we have that is noticeably smaller in some fashion is the Hopkins Winter Protection - Double-Sided Exterior...

    We offer several options in RV windshield covers that you can see on the page I linked for you.

For your Class C RV I suggest the Adco Deluxe Windshield Cover for Class C Motorhomes # 290-2507 which is made of white vinyl.

  • Hopkins Winter Protection Double-Sided Exterior Windshield Cover Materials
    I spoke with our contact at Hopkins and he was able to tell me that the winter protection windshield cover # HM17511 is vinyl and sewn on the edges. If you tend to leave the windshield cover on 24/7 is may deteriorate quicker over time but in general the product life should last quite a while. There isn't a specific life span for this product because there are so many variables that could affect it's life expectancy. The information available on this product is limited.

  • Windshield Cover for Ford E-Series Class C Motorhome

For an E-Series cutaway-based motorhome we do have windshield cover fits shown on the linked page, such as Hopkins Windshield Cover # HM17511. I used a 2015 model year for purposes of providing examples.

  • Windshield Cover Recommendation for 2017 Jeep Cherokee to Protect from Snow and Ice
    For what you are looking for I'd recommend the etrailer.com Snoblock Snow and Ice Windshield and Wiper Blade Cover # 288-06603. This is a great cover to protect from winter ice and snow and is easy to install. This is confirmed to fit your 2017 Jeep Cherokee. I believe this is a better option than # HM17529 or # HM17511 which will also fit.
