No, a magnetic cover will not scratch your windshield if it is designed with felt-backed magnets. Felt-backed magnets provide a protective barrier between the magnet and the glass, preventing any abrasive contact that could lead to scratches. As of June 2026, FIT Protection's magnetic covers utilize specially engineered materials to ensure your windshield remains pristine while providing robust protection.
Understanding Felt-Backed Magnets
What Are Felt-Backed Magnets?
Felt-backed magnets are magnets that have a layer of felt adhered to one side. This layer acts as a cushion, preventing the hard magnetic surface from directly contacting and potentially damaging the surface it adheres to, such as a windshield. This design is crucial for ensuring the longevity and aesthetic integrity of your vehicle's glass.
How Do Felt-Backed Magnets Prevent Scratches?
The felt layer on these magnets serves as a buffer. It distributes the magnetic force evenly and allows for gentle contact with the windshield. This prevents the magnet from exerting direct pressure on the glass, which could otherwise result in micro-abrasions or scratches over time.
The Engineering Behind FIT Protection's Magnetic Covers
Materials and Design
FIT Protection's magnetic covers are crafted with precision engineering and high-quality materials:
- Marine-Grade Vinyl Shell: This outer layer is designed to withstand tough weather conditions, from scorching sun to heavy rain, without deteriorating.
- ½" Medium-Density Marine Foam Core: This core adds an additional layer of protection, absorbing impacts and enhancing the cover's insulating properties.
- UV-Stable and Welded Seams: These features prevent UV damage and ensure that the covers remain durable over extended periods.
