Glad you found your new cover, we use ours all the time here in hot and sunny Texas. But also know that it provides some degree of privacy by blocking outsiders from seeing thru the windshield. I have found it easy to install with just a short 2 step ladder, by keeping it rolled and first clipping it to the first side top and bottom snaps. Then just unrolling it as I walk around the front, lifting the wipers up and on top of the cover, till I roll past the second mirror where I need the ladder again. If we are staying a while, I will snap the top center and bottom snaps.
To remove, I can pop the bottom side snap off, then the top, and begin rolling, past the mirror, lift the wiper, pop the center snaps off, then the second wiper, the second mirror, to the last side snaps. The roll gets longer and longer, but after it comes off, I tighten the roll and it tends to reform to the correct height/length. I use to pull it off and fold, rolling seems easier for me, and does not require the ladder to remove. Plus figure rolling will be better in the long run than hard folds.
We also lift the wipers off the windshield with tennis balls to keep the blades smooth and allow the dust and debris to fall down the windshield. In Nacogdoches last month I saw a coach with balls still under the wiper arms as he was about to drive away. He showed how they were on short 6" stings, and held the wipers off the window till he turned them on. Then the wipers move, the balls fell away, to hang, till he later parked. Have not done it to mine yet, but could use the grab handles as attachment points for the short strings.
