Except you can cover a car faster and easier with a regular car cover, and get FULL protection for the car, instead of the 40% coverage of that car cover.
What a hassle - you have to open the trunk and thread the cover between the trunk opening and the rear window, open both front doors, tuck the cover in the doors (to prevent it from blowing off in even the slightest breeze), etc. And, most of the car is still left exposed.

hey
I'm just saying that it's cool. Besides, It takes lees space to store than a full car cover and I think you'll want to use that in like big open parking lot and stuff. You won't want to drag a full length car cover and start covering your car in a huge parking lot right?

Giving it a shot
I am going to try this out for my "rag-top" as I often like to cover up the interior when I leave it sitting for a while at various times. Mostly at places like friends homes etc...
It may be more of a hassle than simply raising the top but there may be times when I would like to protect the canvas as well.
I do have a full cover for off-season storage, but at the times when the car is less than perfectly clean this cover may be a better option than pulling a full cover over a dusty surface.
I'll let you all know how it goes, but it may be the spring before I really get the opportunity to give this a work out.

I wouldn't know how this cover would be installed on a coupe though.
