Default Battery Tender AND Car Cover

How have you solved this puzzle...maybe it's just the placement of my car in the garage and it's location to the plug but how do you get the car cover AND the battery tender hooked up...just put the cover over the top???
I found the tender did not come with very long connectors.
Your thoughts and feedback are appreciated. :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod: :chevy

I extended the wires on my BT and hook it up from underneath. That way there is no complication with the cover. ;)

Well, I called BT and talked to them about this and they "strongly" recommended removing the battery and not leaving it hooked up with the car covered. So I ended up removing the battery.

Thanks, I was concerned over the possible build-up of anything around the battery with a cover over the car in my garage.
