Default Tips for putting on C7 outdoor car cover?

I have the GM Outdoor car cover for the C7 and tried putting it on today. I can't seem to stretch the cover enough to go over the car and don't want to force it. Does anyone have any tips to get it on? It just seems like its 1/2 foot too short???

Is it just me?

Thanks.

My way is mirrors first, then left front, right rear, right front and left rear.

Thanks all for the tips. After a lot of tugging and pulling I got the front on. It is tight like a 2nd skin, especially around the front fascia. Does this sound right?

Here is the official word from GM... We used the technique on a Z06 w/Z07 package and it worked well. We were unable to get it on any other way.

If it wasn't tight it would flap in the wind, chafe the clear coat, it looks like the car was sanded when the cover flaps around.
