Best car cover for E550 Cabriolet
I am looking for a solid car cover for my new 2013 E550 Cabriolet. I have looked online a little but can not find any that look good.
Thanks

You can buy them from Mercedes Benz. Look in the accessories catalogue, they're about $250.
On a related note, I'm looking at buying one as I'll soon have to park my car in a parking deck at my new condo. Are these things worth it? I've always just assumed car covers draw attention to your car more than anything, I've seen several times drunks take off a car cover just to see what's under there.

Unfortunately the MB car cover is the same for a coupe and cabrio. The difference being the roof top space for the coupe antenna which is on the trunk lid of the cabrio.
I cover mine daily and it does make a difference in protecting it from the elements.
MB did make a car cover specifically for my previous model: 2005 CLK500A.

Best depends on what you are trying to accomplish i.e. dust, rain, snow, indoor, outdoor protection etc.
I just purchased a Coverking StormProof Car Cover which seems to have done just fine in a recent rain storm. It also kept the dust and leaves off during a recent wind storm from a nearby thunderstorm which missed my area.
They are made to order for coupes, convertibles or sedans in various single and dual colors.

I ordered the MB cover "Car Cover" from their website. I should have it soon, I also got the Lock and cable for it. I will post back with update once I get it and use it.
Now looking for a Sunshade for it.
Thank you all for comments and suggestions.
