Gear & Gadgets

Cover up quickly, improve your car's acoustics and boost your tie-down capability

iCover

Half-slip
The compact, easy-to-manage iCover is a great alternative to full-size car covers for short-term protection. It shields the interior from direct sunlight, keeping it cool, and hides valuables from prying eyes. Best, it installs and removes in seconds.
$25-$30, www.protechcarcovers.com

Hushmat

Hush up
Enhance your sound-system performance or quiet down an older vehicle with HushMat kits for floors, doors or whole interiors. The product's sticky side can be anchored to almost any substrate, and once in place dampens vibration, squeaks, rattles and road noise.
Kits starting at $32, hushmat.com

AnchorTrax

Tie-downs
Add more tie-down versatility to your pickup truck with the AnchorTrax system from Mr. Gasket. The system comes with 12-inch-long aluminum strips that attach to your box rails and tie-down loops that slide on the anchor strips for ideal placement.
$30 and up, mr-gasket.com.
