Yea I got the jumbo sized one. Unfortunately, it fit like shit and I stopped using it because it was such a hassle.

I would recommend getting this item:

It is sooo much better than fumbling with the stupid cover thing.

Ya know you could just open it and see if it fits your car.
If not put it in the box and return it.

buy a custom fit one from online vendors. They're sized exactly and reasonably priced. I think I got mine on amazon for $15. One of the best investments I've made on my TL.

I got one from advanced auto parts, the one that folds into a circle, it brings 2...they work for me and for storage it folds into a 10"-12" circle easily placed into the pocket behind the seat

Also i have limo tint which helps ALOT...if you cant go that dark where your at there is a trick to getting around it, limo tint on the doors, and a shade lighter on the back window, cops dont care as long as they can see you when they are behind you they usually dont mess with you
