Have a LeBra for a 2003 Jetta GLI that appears to fit fine however it
has managed to mark/wear some of the paint away from the front fenders
near where the black plastic hooks connect at the front of the wheel
wells. I drive on highway for my daily commute and the cover
significantly protects the car from bugs and stones. Wondered if
anyone knew of anything that could be done to the hooks w/minimal
effort to prevent such scratching. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I'd recommend doing what I did with the bra I bought for my van...tossing it in
the trash. I was VERY careful about taking it off when I should, but left it on
once (actually wife did) for a couple of days after it got wet and clouded the
paint on the hood pretty badly. I figure the damage done in these two days is a
lot worse than the damage the van received in the 20,000 miles it has gone
without the bra.

I bought one direct from the dealer when I first got my '94 Golf and
it has made a tremendous difference. They tend to fit MUCH better
than any generic brand of car bra and to avoid any discoloration or
scratching I usually remove it once a week and wash the bra and hood
and apply a thick coat of wax where the bra covers. So in ten years
of use there is no damage at all caused by the bra. However, there
are lots of stone chips from winter driving since it should NEVER be
used in the winter...at least here in Canada.

Just my experience.

Jer, what type of connectors are there for "hooking" to the inside of
your front wheel wells? Have found that anything plastic will
eventually loosen, rub against the outer body and mark and/or remove
paint. Wasn't sure if there is a different style of hook of some sort
that or a cover w/such a thing to avoid this?
