[QUOTE="Rick Ohnsman, post: 797777, member: 66408"] I love my Advance Cover bought from K-Covers, but have started to experience a problem and wondered if any other Advanced Cover owners have seen this... The keyed locks can be turned, even after they are locked, enouugh to release the mechanism and open the cover. Obviously the lock is of no use if it can be defeated with a hard turn. I also had a hair-raising experience the other day when the lock on the front half of the cover was not completely engaged and, while driving home from boating I suddenly heard a loud WHAM! (Scared the %%##$& outta me! :o ) I though something bad had happened with the boat I was towing). What had happened is the wind caught the front of the loose cover and flipped it back HARD. Fortunately, it didn't tear it off completely and there was no damage (other than to my shorts... :blink:) Anyone else had any cover locking issues with the Advanced Covers? What was the fix?
