Step-by-Step Installation

Step 1: Locate the front label tag on the cover (it may not be marked “FRONT,” but this end should be placed at the front of the hearse). Start at the rear of the hearse, rolling the cover forward toward the hood.
Step 2: Center the cover and pull it down evenly across the mirrors and sides for a proper fit.
Step 3: Adjust the cover so it sits smoothly and snugly over the rear and front of the hearse.
Step 4: Use the built-in straps by running them underneath the front and rear bumpers, clipping them securely in place.

Important Warnings

Never cover a wet hearse.
Ensure the engine, exhaust, and tailpipe have completely cooled down before covering.
Always keep windows and roof fully closed when using the cover.
Do not use a hearse cover on a freshly painted vehicle until the paint has fully cured.
Make sure waxed surfaces are completely dry before applying the cover.
Avoid covering a convertible-style hearse with the top down.
Do not cover immediately after driving—allow time for the hearse to cool fully.
After heavy sun exposure, let the hearse cool before installing the cover.

Removing Your Hearse Cover

To remove the cover, unclip the straps and roll it back from front to rear. Fold the cover carefully and store it in the provided storage bag to keep it clean and protected. Proper storage helps prevent damage, minimizes wrinkles, and extends the cover’s lifespan.

For tips on storage, see our guide: The Essential Guide to Car Cover Storage Bags.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I identify the front of the cover? Look for the white tag indicating the front. Even if not marked “FRONT,” this is still the front side.
How do I install the cable lock set? The included lock set (Gold Shield 5L and Supreme Shield only) contains a cable, lock, and key. Insert the cable through the cover’s grommets at the midpoint, pass it underneath the hearse, and secure with the lock. For a full guide, see our blog post. To buy an extra lock set, visit our product page.
How do I use the antenna patch? For non-retractable antennas, mark the spot on the cover, make a small cut just large enough for the antenna, and reinforce it with the included patch. This prevents tearing and stretching. Shop additional antenna patches here.
What are Heavy Duty Wind Straps? Optional straps designed for added stability in windy conditions. Attach them at the front and rear for maximum security. Order wind straps here.
How do I wash the hearse cover? Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry. For machine wash, use cold water and mild detergent only. Avoid bleach and softeners.
