Default Frustrated with Covering

I have one monocoat airplane and one ultracoat. Although I thought covering was easier with ultracoat, the covering has a problem that really bothers me. I have my plane in the car all day while at work and by the time I get off and out to the plane the covering has wrinkled. I re-shrink the covering and it continues to happen. I have tried to cover the aircraft while it is in the car, but apparently the sun exposure isn't the problem, I guess it is the heat which is strange because the covering shrinks when you heat it. The monocoat covered aircraft had the same problem, but I do not remember it being as bad. I am about to cover a third aircraft, and want to minimize this problem. Do others think that monocoat is better for this application, and does anyone have any suggestions to improve the wrinkling problem. I live in St. Louis so all summer the car gets really hot, and my parking lot has no shade. Thanks.
