Update: Customer Service from this company reached out to me to rectify the issue with the straps. They sent me a new cover with straps that feel and are very sturdy. Moving this to a 5 star review given that first rate service and for a quality product. I previously purchased this cover 9 months ago and this latest one was a replacement due to tearing (my fault). The cover itself is great given it is an 18 layer car cover meant for outdoor/indoor use. Fit my 99 Mercedes C280 quite well, not too snug, but not too loose either. The exterior seems to do well in rain and protects against other environmental fallout in my area of Los Angeles. I park my vehicle under a very popular tree for squirrels and birds. They leave quite the mess under the tree and this cover mitigates all of that really well. Once every 3-4 months I hose the cover off and it looks perfect again. The waterproof capability is there within reason. If you live in a very wet or damp climate the cover will eventually allow water in, and even if you go through a very heavy rain you might find moisture underneath. The straps are what lose 2 stars off 5 for me. The buckles fit perfectly, but the webbing material is completely useless. There is no way to tighten the straps so that they don't loosen again due to say wind or a light breeze. The webbing is far too thin for the buckles provided and just slip through. The straps are meant to cinch down the cover so that it doesn't flap around in a breeze under a certain limit. When I first used this cover I did not tighten the straps and the cover became super loose and scuffed the car's paint slightly, but thankfully a light polish and wax fixed that. I used my original cover's straps and they secured this new cover really well. Read more
Well made with a water repellent outer fabric and cloth lined inner fabric. Has a zipper typed access panel that runs vertically from the bottom edge to the top edge on drivers side door to allow easy access into the car without completly removing the entire cover so you can get in and roll the windows down and allow additional air flow. Also has elastic trim on the front and back lower edges to hold it on the car. Has a couple of "breather" panel pockets to give some air flow but prevent water from entering . Hangs down nice and low covering all of the car and most of the wheels. Had my classic car outside for a short time and it rained but when I took the cover off, the car was nice and dry. The cover is lightweight enough to move around easily but thick enough between the outter fabric and lining (not flimsy) that you can keep it on the car while in the garage to help prevent someone from rubbing up against it and potentially scratching the paint. Also has an area in the middle of the cover at the bottom where you can attatch a belt that runs under the car from the drivers side door to the passenger side door to secure the cover in case of wind so it wont blow away. Definitely worth the money. Read more
This is a quality cover and definitely served it's purpose. I do not, however, see where the 18-layer detail comes in. The good news is that it kept the harsh sun of Hawaii from fading my cars paint. Read more
Impressive, shields from rain & freezing snow. Seldom have a covered storage when we travel the USA. Just fold the mirrors in and this warps the C-5 Corvette convertible just fine. Extra curves below the front and rear bumper helps to hold snug in the winds. The straps with supplied clamps attach to the built it clamps to secure in front, rear & center. Takes more storage room when we travel (which is always), but if I toss the formal clothes there will be enough room. I'll deal with the missing clothes flack from my wife when that comes up. (I better practice dumb looks). Read more
UPDATE: After submitting my review, the customer service team reached out and conveyed to me that a 3 star review was not satisfactory to them, and they wanted to keep me as a customer. They gave me multiple options and I was impressed how much they stood behind their product. It was determined that I received a defective unit. The customer service at iCarCover is the best that I have ever experienced from an Amazon Seller. Thank You! I am updating my rating to 5 stars because iCarCover stands behind their products 100% and wants each of their customers to be completely satisfied. I picked this cover up for a 96 Corvette. It fit pretty well and I had planned to use it as an outdoor cover over the summer. I had expected it would last a couple of seasons at least. Unfortunately the sun and rain quickly broke down the material and it starting cracking within 1 month of use. It was still under warranty but I had no confidence that a replacement would do any better so I tossed it after just 2 months of use. For the price, it was satisfactory, though you may wish to use this only as an indoors cover because my experience is that the durability just isn't there. Read more
This is my second car cover from Advance Parts. It is rain, wind and sun protection. Best part is the three straps to secure it on. I have it on my Vette which is outdoors in the very sunny, high humidity and rain which is almost everyday of the year in South Florida. The previous exact same cover was on for 6 months, only to take it off twice a week for a weekend cruise. Almost 170 days. For the price it is well worth it. I've bought custom covers with major name companies only for them to last barely to the warranty period. This covers the car well, almost to the ground, everything tucked in. Zipper on the driver's side in case you need to open your car door when the cover is on. Nice feature. Not too heavy nor light fabric. It doesn't lint like some of the fleece lined covers. Comes with the 3 straps and a carrying bag (unless you are an origami except that bag is useless). If you use this cover strictly indoors it should last a very long time. I will buy another in 6 months. Hope this info helps you. Read more
