3 mins.

you have to fold it right.

drape cover over car.
fold the passenger 1/3 (longitudinal) up to the roof
fold the driver 1/3 (longitudinal) up to the roof (and on top of the 1/3 passenger you just folded)
then you should have a long cover from nose to tail.
fold the tail portion up to top center of roof
fold the nose portion up to top center of roof.
store it.

to deploy
put the thing (folded as above) on top center of car.
unfold nose then unfold tail section.
pull driver side down, hook the cover over mirror so you can pull pass side with out driver side disengaging.

pull pass side

hook nose portion under bumper

hook tail section to the wing, let exhaust cool. before you goto bed, pull cover all the way down and cover exhaust as it should have cooled down.

i just timed myself now. 2min 15 seconds.

you guys crack me up. seriously- my car goes from garage to the track, the gas station, the mechanic...and back home. wish I had time to clay bar, wax, put covers on it, etc- but I just drive it so much I don't really care- everytime I drop it off at mechanic for more than 1 day it comes out waxed

like magic.

Ruf is the best! that's why I store all my cars there, and visit once a week...well it's only 20 mins away so that helps too.

If you have it turned to the correct side in the first place, then it should roll right on. Mine only takes a couple of seconds, and I always have a bunch left to unroll; I don't get why they make them so big.
