I also have an outdoor cover. My simple method is to put the nose on first on both sides and the roll the cover back, hook one rear corner and then the other (making sure you get under the rear diffuser). Then tighten up the cord and throw under the car. Then simply scrabble around on the other side saying "where the fg hell is that cord !" Find it, clip in and tighten. Simple really.

Undoing is simply the opposite. As I go along the car I fold the cover into the middle (careful with the clip so it doesn't scratch the bodywork) and then roll up from the rear (careful of the ariel here).

My only tip so far is to park nose into the wind if possible as the front seems a tighter fit than the rear.
