Then remove one side from the mirror and fold it over towards the other side of the car. Fold remainder and remove from the other mirror. Now you have a nicely folded package that can be thrown in the trunk and is easy to install by the reverse of above.

The mirror pockets on the Lexus cover provides a snug fit and helps hold the cover on the car. It will not blow off easily and does not require a tiedown. Besides, you never want to tie the cover down when it looks like you may have bad weather. Not good on the finish.
If you want to use the cover on a daily basis this sounds like the best option. However, if not, then it isn't worth the substantial extra cost. I don't think the tie downs are really essential, however, they do prevent any flapping on the sides and I am not convinced they pose any issue for the car's surface. The tie downs I use are not all that tight, just firm.

PICS!!! as promised! the 1ST is sum BS from autozone for $69.99 ... if the wind blow the cover would be gone! its sloppy and you need at leat 2 ppl to put the samn thing on! so annoying!

the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pics are of the lexus custom fitted cover! love it! $379.99 is not a nice price but it is made from a more superior fabric and the fit is perfect and very tight! its EZ for one person to install!

You might consider cutting the "bag" off. Of little use, and personally I didn't want to have the thing trapped by the trunk lid as it's just something to deform the rubber seal.
