Description of the problem	Rear tire cover on a 2008 toyota rav4 18" wheels sport edition. Rear tire cover over time (within 10 months) has become loose and has blown off several times, once in a car wash and the other while driving down the interstate. Both times, serious scratch and paint damage was received. I verified that the zipper was fully zipped and elastic was covering the bottom of the tire. I find that over time the cover slowly works itself off until it falls off. As this is a factory installed option cover, there appears to be a defect in manufacturing. This should be redesigned and replaced - covered by warranty.
