C63 Coupe Car Cover Update
3 Attachment(s)
I tried to purchase the MB car cover Q6600093 for my 2012 Coupe and was informed that it is no longer available and has been superceded by Q6600105 which apparently fits the new model of C63. I got the new cover and discovered that it doesn't have the antenna relief hole for the roof shark fin, and from the looks of it the fin would wear a hole very quickly. I was told I could return the cover, but the new cover appears to be made of a much better fabric called Autobody Armour, and is lined with a super soft material. Because of this I decided to have a local company install a relief pocket for the antenna and keep the new cover. The cover also seems a little larger overall and has a clear panel in the rear that must show the license plate on the newer car. I will attach some pictures so that if you order one you know what to expect.

That looks terrible. You can find the correct car cover - authentic OEM, and fits like a glove - on eBay all day.

I would agree. And any kind of slack will cause the cover to rub the paint in the wind. Just look at this brand new GT3 RS at the 3 min mark.

Thanks for the heads up. I just use it as a garage cover so should be ok for that. But others beware if you are going to use it outside.

I don't mean to pile on, but that bagginess, inside or out, will eventually rub. I ended up going to California Car Cover - fits nice and snug and has the recess for the antenna too. The NOAH fabric I chose, was the same used by MB at the time.

I picked up a used black series one from a member here. Fitment is perfect. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...0831a62d0b.jpg

That does look bad. Here is my 2012 coupe with the BQ6600093 cover I got used from ebay for $100.

I stopped buying the NOAH covers for my BMW because they would start to "pill" like a sweater and then eventually wear out after 1-2 years. They were quite bulky.
I switched over to the Covercraft Ultra'tect instead which is a lighter material and can be washed in a home washer since it's smaller (due to thinner fabric). Just bought another one for the new '13 C63. It's for the "C250"and has the pocket for the shark fin. Perfect fit. |

I just realized I still have this. Will put it up for sale if anyone is interested. It’s in my garage packed up in the AMG storage bag it came in. PM me if interested.
