How to measure your vehicle

  • Length: Measure from the front bumper to the rear bumper in a straight line.
  • Width: Measure the widest point of the vehicle, including mirrors if they cannot be folded.
  • Height: Measure from the ground to the highest point of the vehicle (roof, aerial, or roof rack).

If your vehicle falls between two sizes, always choose the larger size for full coverage and a better fit.

Frequently asked questions about sizing

Why does the same vehicle need a different size for each cover model?

Each GagaFast cover model is manufactured to its own sizing scale. The Black Shield 420D is cut differently from the Blue Shield and Black Shield Pro. Always check the specific size for the cover model you are buying, not just the vehicle type.

What if my vehicle is not on the list?

Measure your vehicle's length, width, and height, then compare with the dimension tables above. Choose the size whose dimensions are closest to — but larger than — your vehicle's measurements.

Can I use the same cover for different vehicles?

You can if the vehicles are the same size category. However, a cover fitted to one vehicle's exact shape will fit better than a shared cover. A snug fit is important to prevent the cover from moving in wind.
