Did your kids actually stay off the screens the whole time? My buddy pulled the same trick last summer, told his boys the router overheated and needed to "rest," and they disappeared into their rooms for two hours. Turns out they just found an old tablet in a drawer and watched videos on that instead, so he got zero quiet and a dead battery. Kids are basically little hackers when it comes to finding a signal.

Ran a cover on my truck for two winters straight, same deal. Biggest thing nobody mentions is moisture. If you throw it on a wet car you get mold spots and that can eat the clear coat too. Let it breathe. I leave mine loose at the bottom so air moves through. Also wash the cover itself every couple months, hose it down and hang it, because it collects grit and then it's sandpaper on your roof. And yeah you nailed it on the tight fit, bungee the corners or it's game over in the wind. Ray's Civic story is the classic mistake, put it on dirty once and you're buffing swirls for a year. That said for a hundred bucks it's still the best money I've spent on car care.
