Video Transcript for Hopkins RV Covers - Windshield Covers - HM17529 Review
Speaker 1: Today, we're going to take a look at the Hopkins Arctic Guard Heavy-Duty Windshield Cover for winter or summer protection. Basically, when the weather piles it on, or the sun turns up the heat, we've got you covered with this heavy-duty windshield cover that will install on the outside of your vehicle. I do have it folded in half. You can see, if you unfold it, it's very large.Basically, in the winter, you'll have no more scraping of snow or ice. All you have to do is just remove the cover and you're ready to go. In the summertime, it'll help keep the interior vehicle cool and protect your interior from any UV damage.It is a universal fit for most vehicles.
Size on it is, when you extend, open it up, it's 73-inches long by about 40-inches tall. It is a lightweight vinyl material, almost like an umbrella-type material. If you notice, on each end, they do have these on elastic straps, these mirror pockets that will fit over your side view mirrors. They do have a mesh side on them. What's nice about this is when you fold this up and to store it, you can fold it small enough that it will fit into one of these mirror pockets, and it's easy to carry around.This will easily install on the outside of your windshield.
Just open it all the way up. First thing you want to do is install the mirror covers over your side view mirrors. Once you get those installed, then just lay the over part over the windshield. Go to the inside, and on the very top, you'll see these elastic straps with hooks on them. Open the doors, run these to the inside, then just hook these together so it will hold it all into place.I don't know if you noticed, on the outside, when this is installed on the outside, you have these elastic straps, buckles and straps, that you can pull to adjust the fit of the cover.
If it's a smaller vehicle, you can adjust it in to get a little bit tighter fit. You can adjust them to cover for a perfect fit. Saves you a lot of time and effort.That should do it for the review on the Hopkins Arctic Guard Heavy-Duty Windshield Cover for winter or summer protection.

Weatherproof, double-sided windshield cover fits the exterior of your vehicle. Attaches securely inside with hooks for the front doors. No more standing out in the cold and slush while you scrape and brush.by: KWH11/11/2016
The service from eTrailer was excellent as always. My opinion of the windshield cover is mixed. I have an Excursion so I searched for the largest cover I could find. This one barely covers the lower and middle of my windshield. The top of the windshield is not covered, this can be a problem when it snows. I had to pull and stretch to get the cover over the mirrors and am afraid that when the temperatures go sub-zero it will not stretch without ripping. This cover is simply not made for bigger trucks like mine.
by: BoonTowne41105/29/2019
The Mirror covers need to be wider with adjustable straps. The one I received is a tad to small/tight. I cover the passenger mirror and scrape the drivers side so I don't have to walk around the p/up. My p/up is a 2005 Ford F150. My brother had the same problem. His p/up is a 2006 Ford F350.

Ordered several for Christmas presents in 2020. Worked well as advertised.
by: Janice02/12/2019
I would rate this product as fair. I expected my windshield cover to be heavier. I ordered this product because a co-worker had one from a few years ago. However, the one she had was made out of a heavier fabric - a canvas like material.
I do like the way the cover goes beyond the windshield wipers. I would have a problem with my wipers freezing due to snow and ice collecting at the base of the wiper.
by: Kathleen01/12/2020
I believe it will work, but weather is just now getting bad. I miss having magnets and door flaps. Easier for me to work with instead of elastic bands that hook inside and take time. Time of essence when 10 below and 40 mph winds.
by: Mario01/03/2021
Very thin material. Stitching is also rather week. Mine came with the edging coming off due to week stitching. Also, it did not fit over my large towing mirrors of the Nissan NV3500.
by: Jeff10/26/2018
Haven't installed it, but ordering through eTrailer is an exceptionally good process. Free shipping and no tax made this a much better value than going through local retail. Shipping was a few days and delivered to my door. Research through local suppliers requires them to order model-specific products and it takes them a few days and at least two trips to their store -- this is a much better process. The instructional videos, reviews, and product details are spot on and more helpful than the manufacturers' site. Plugging in my vehicle loads up recommendations that fit my vehicle -- other retailers make you use filters and I'm less confident the product is specific for my make, model vehicle.

I purchased this for my husband as a stocking stuffer in December of 2015. He has used it in every snow storm since and really likes how easy it is to deal with at 4:00 am with freezing rain, wind and snow coming from every angle.
I think this is a must have for anyone who parks outside during the winter months. He was using a tarp of sorts and that would stick to the windshield every so often...and that was not exactly helpful.
Really cool product at a perfect price. Thank you.
Comments
He still loves it! And, better yet, it is still working perfectly! Your products are so good. :
Raleigh S - 12/15/2017by: Brian K01/17/2018
This is a product that will save a great deal of time and effort.... Not to mention cold hands, and other body parts. The actual cover could be better put together, some of the stitching and trim did not hold up. I do make an effort to place this on my windshield at the end of the day, this saves a bunch of time and frustration in the early morning hour as I head out to work..... Just remember to turn off your wipers and turn on the defrost if you have a remote start.
by: Gary C.05/25/2015
Fits my 1999 GMC Sierra perfect. I bought it to keep tree debris from collecting in the vent area between the hood and windshield. Works great.
Comments
Working very well. Does exactly what I wanted it to do.
Gary C - 05/26/2016by: Sherman02/12/2021
I thought the material would be a little heavier. I just put it on and like the style and shape but not impressed with the material. Light and the corner tore from high winds on the left mirror.
by: Benjamin V12/20/2017
It's a little odd to put on, but it has good coverage on my 2007 Honda Element. Covers both rear views, which is important as they are not heated and a pain to remove ice from. Saves me from a lot of scraping windows in the winter.
by: Gary J09/30/2017
The item was bought for a different vehicle than was listed. My mirrors were too large to fit in the pockets so I tied the corners of the cover to the door handle which worked fine. With the wind and sun that we have I do not think that it will last another 2 years.
by: Al07/27/2017
Ordered for my prius...WAY too big, flaps on sides are useless because the entire windshield section overlaps into the car on both sides. Thin, cheap material. Can accomplish a much better solution with a plain pc of black nylon material. Then I had to pay to return it!
by: Carroll D01/07/2019
Thanks for the attention to my order and the prompt delivery. We had our first big snow (big for Oklahoma City) a couple of nights ago, window covers worked great. Very pleased with them so far.
by: Robert12/12/2018
The product is well made and does the job well. For my vehicle it is too large. I have made it work but a little hassle to install. No fault of the product just a very small windshield. Jeep Wrangler. Knowing what I know now , would I buy it again, probably. For the price it is a quality product.
by: RcJ 08/04/2019
Love it! While designed to keep from scrapping Ice / Frost - I use my cover to protect my windshield from spray and film build-up that occurs on Oil & Gas well locations.
I’ve add ~6 small magnets to the top edge of the cover to help hold it in place better in the wind. Have washed the cover twice - once by hand and once in the washer on delicate.
Other than adding the magnets - it rates 5 out of 5
by: Jim 12/05/2019
It works great I don't have to worry about frozen snow or frosted windows. I plan on buying one for my car.

Great and I have ordered 2 more
Jim - 12/06/2020by: Daniel Stafford VA12/06/2018
I've been using this for a month now. Covers the windshield like they said it would and keep the snow and frost off. The product is very thin (garbage bag thickness), so I'm not sure about durability. So far, it has stood up to the elements and serving the purpose. I gave it 3 stars because of the thickness.
by: Vicki12/07/2016
I absolutely LOVE it!! Super easy to put on and take off! The best windshield cover!
by: Patrick12/08/2018
This a so so product . Very thin . It fits my 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 perfect. Haven't had a chance to use it but hope it does fine . Like i said it is very flimsy material don't know how long it will last.
by: John06/09/2018
I am extremely happy with the fast delivery and quality products I have purchased at etrailer.com
by: Cheryl M01/14/2018
The more I learn about using my cover on my 2007 Chevrolet HHR, the more I love it! I have gone from installation from a couple of minutes down to seconds it feels like! So quick and easy! There is a spot on one of the mirror pockets where the seam seems weak, but I am monitoring it.
by: Kevin01/03/2018
Works well to keep elements off of windshield. It doesn't like extreme cold and will rip at sewed boarder and elastic straps.
by: Randy11/24/2019
Did not fit 2012 f450. Window cover fit but mirror cover did not reach or fit over the mirrors

view full answer... - How to Install the Hopkins Heavy-Duty ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield CoverYes, the Hopkins Heavy-Duty ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover part # HM17529 will fit your 2005 Buick LeSabre and will do an excellent job of keeping the snow and ice off of your windshield. As you can see from the sample install video, the process is very simple. Just throw the cover over the windshield and secure it inside the vehicle using the included hooks.

It has straps on the front of the cover too which allow you to take up any extra slack if the vehicle happens to be a bit narrower.
view full answer... - Availability of Camco Windshield Wiper WedgesThe Camco Windshield Wiper Wedges CAM45456 have been discontinued but I do have another solution to help keep your wiper blades in ship shape when you have your vehicle parked in the elements. If you were needing them for a storage situation to keep the pressure off of your wipers then unfortunately we don't have anything that could be used as a substitute. I personally use the Hopkins Heavy-Duty ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover # HM17529 on my vehicles and it is an excellent...
view full answer... - Available Windshield Cover to Fit a 2017 Ford E-Series CutawayWe do carry a few windshield covers that will fit your RV, but the ADCO cover that you referenced, # 290-2402, will not on the 2017 Ford E-Series Cutaway. The covers we offer are not custom-fit, but are universal fit in design and are really designed to cover the windshield to protect from the winter elements. A cover like the Hopkins Heavy-Duty ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover, # HM17529, will not only protect during the winter months, but can be used to block out the sunshine...
view full answer... - Windshield Cover for a Ford F-350The best option to fit the windshield (and side mirrors) on a Ford F-350 is windshield cover # HM17529. It is adjustable but has a max size of 73" Long X 40" tall. The other covers are simply too small for a large truck. The mirrors may be an issue if they are the design that is taller than wide because the covers are designed for mirrors that stick out further than they are tall. I have linked a video review of this cover for you.
view full answer... - Availability of Way to Protect Front End of Vehicle When Flat TowingIf you have a Roadmaster tow bar we have the Guardian Rock Guard part # RM-4000 which is designed to protect the front end of a vehicle while it is being flat towed like what you are doing. If you have a different tow bar let me know and I'll recommend the best solution for it if available.
view full answer... - Blue OX Kargard Rock Guard for Towed VehiclesThe Blue Ox # BX8870 Kargard is designed to protect all vehicles from most road debris that can be kicked up behind a towing vehicle. I have attached a video that I think you will find very helpful. The guard measures 72" wide x 24-1/4" tall and works with most tow bar systems. When not in use it folds up for easy storage.
view full answer... - Windshield Cover Recommendation for 2017 Jeep Cherokee to Protect from Snow and IceFor 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.

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...
view full answer... - Preventing Rock Chips and Road Debris Damage when Flat Towing a Vehicle Behind an RVHopkins Heavy-Duty ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover # HM17529 would provide some protection against rocks but it is not meant to be used while the vehicle is moving despite the fact that the RV would be blocking most of the wind. It would ultimately result in damage and/or loss of cover. I recommend taking a look at our selection of vehicle guards and related parts, see link. Or you might also consider some hitch mounted mud flaps such as # RM-4400-102.
view full answer... - Does the etrailer 2-in-1 Exterior Windshield and Wiper Blade Cover Come With Side Mirror CoversThe etrailer 2-in-1 Exterior Windshield and Wiper Blade Cover part # e98899 does not come with covers for the side mirrors but we do have a similar option which does, the Hopkins Heavy-Duty ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover part # HM17529.
view full answer... - Recommended Sunshield for Vehicles in Hot Sunshine AreasThe Hopkins Heavy-Duty ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover # HM17529 is a universal fit that is 70 inches wide by 40 inches tall. The black color will attract heat so I recommend instead using a sunshield like the Camco SunShield Reflective Motor Home Window Cover - 62" x 30" # CAM45164. This will give you the best protection from the hot Arizona sun.

There is not a complete privacy cover like # 290-2510 you mentioned for the side windows confirmed to fit your vehicle from any of our manufacturers.

- Best Windshield Cover Recommendation for a TruckWe have a few different windshield covers that all have different sizes. To find the best one for your truck you will need to measure your windshield and then pick the one below that fits yours the best. The Hopkins Winter Protection - Double-Sided Exterior Windshield Cover # HM17511 is 70" Long X 29" tall. The Hopkins Heavy-Duty ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover # HM17529 is 73" Long X 40" tall, and the etrailer.com Snoblock Snow and Ice Windshield and Wiper Blade Cover is 70"...
view full answer... - How to Protect Flat Towed Vehicles Windshield/PaintWe have great products designed for exactly what you are looking for, but the Hopkins part # HM17529 that you referenced is only designed for snow and ice so it may not prevent damage from debris. Instead you'd need something like the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard part # RM-4000 which is designed to attach to a Roadmaster flat towing setup. If you could get back to me with the brand of flat towing setup you have I can check to see what the best solution would be for you. For example,...
