Yep, & I hate it when I go thru the car wash & forget to put it on,
so I leave it on!
For some reason mine fits very tightly, & takes some fidgiting to get
in place-maybe that's why it's still there.  I don't use the fridge
for cold storage(too small) so I just leave the cover on all the time.

Tom B.-think I'll get a set of rv tire covers
