As title says, I’m looking at these.

are they a good fit? Do they do the job?

Before I built a garage I had many of these.

Points to note:

They do degrade with UV and so you do need to replace every few years.

They are fully breathable. So no rust will form anywhere, but the car will be wet when the cover is removed directly after rain {obvs}

Don't pull the cover down too snugly onto the car and don't do the fasteners up too tightly {the two that run the width of the car} otherwise in windy weather the cover will rub contact points of the car.

My place is on a hill and exposed and so after 4 years of the car sat outdoors with one of these covers on I decided to build a garage...the paintwork had ever so slightly worn on the nearside front wing {was able to polish it out though)

Hope my two-pence worth helps you decide :)

Yup got a couple, well one now as Roland decided he quite liked the flavour. Did the job fine.

 

Cannot comment on the UV issue although i can see them breaking down overtime.

 I bought one for my Clubman Estate. It fits perfectly, quite snug. The material is waterproof and although I've only had it 2 months, it's doing its job.

Mine have lasted about 5 years before needing replacement, would recommend.

I used these covers for a couple of years ,small holes started appearing after about 18 months but still usable with patches over the holes, the covers were a good fit on the car maybe a bit tight if you've got four spot lights on the front but overall I would say a good cover but a bit overpriced.
