Another trick I've learned and
used over the years is if your cover has grommets on each side for a tie down
cable or rope those are enforced (on Covercraft covers) with extra
padding. I make my marks on the back or inside so you don't see them when
the cover is installed on the car.
Take a felt pen and mark (P)
passenger side (D) drivers side with an arrow pointing towards the front of the
car. This way no matter how you fold the cover once you see these markings
you will know the correct way to unfold the cover to have it fit the car
properly.
Another trick I do is if you
have an older car with a pronounced hood orninament (I have a '53 Imperial with
a big bird with very sharp wing tips) take a plastic water bottle, cut two
slices in it where (in my case the wings are) place the bottle over the sharp
wings and then install the cover. You won't have to worry about the sharp
area cutting a hole.

Marv,
If you always remove the cover the same way, you will know
which end is the front when you put it back on. I always fold it lengthwise
toward the center, then roll it up from rear to front. To install, place it on
the hood, and unroll toward the rear.

Echoing what Fern and Charles
said...I too cut the hole and took it to my trim shop and they provided
a square reinforcement patch on the inside and then stitched it
around. Been working fine for years now....It also provides a
location marker so you can more quickly find front and rear of the
cover. On other covers invariably I have it on wrong and have to
rotate it with all of the aggravation that causes...Marv

Cutting out a hole for the antenna is out of the question
since I've tried it out on other cars and the cover will
eventuallly tear up.
