withstand wear deriv-
ing from common use of the car.
You are however recommended
to avoid strong and/or contin-
uous scratching with clothing
accessories such as metallic
buckles, studs, Velcro fasten-
ings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress
of the cover fabric that could
lead to yarn breaking, and dam-
age the cover as a consequence.
