Didn't you get the tennis ball with the slot cut into it that PlaneCover provides to secure the rear straps to before tossing it back over the wing? It's a simple device but it works pretty good when the wind is up.
Yup - I just don't always remember to bring it. And on some really breezy days the cover blows off and pulls the strap back, tennis ball or not.
Where I'm tied down the tail faces the prevailing wind. The end result is that sometimes the top of the cover bows upward in a strong wind and sand gets blown in and trapped against the windshield. I end up with two lines of scratches forming a "V" on the windshield in about the same position as the cockpit bracing of a float-plane.
If the cover extended further back along the top of the plane, or better yet the front and rear fabric tied together, then I think the problem would be solved once and for all.
