Best Car cover for C230 Coupe?
Whats the best car cover for C230 Coupe? Must be waterproof, not scratch the paint,
and not blow away or tear! (and made by a company that will back it up).
Yeah, Covercraft, but too expensive.
My main concern is water. I'm putting it on an older car that has leaks, and gets water in the rear hatch area.
Sadly the paint is already messed up from a different cover I had on it. Ruined the hood.
Most recently the old girl got booted from the garage to make room for her immaculate low miles
replacement. Still running and being driven occasionally.
Measurements are as follows:
Length.......171.0 in.
Width.......68.0 in.
Height.......55.4in.
A lot of companies offer warranties but when you go to contact them, they don't exist.
And many say they are 6, 7, 8 10 or more "layers". Uh, no.
Hilariously I saw a 110 layer cover on Ebay. One hunded and 10 layers. Nobody ever shows pics of the layers,
or their purpose. But more must be better right?

Chinese mfg are using he same technique as thread count on sheets.
Just say anything to sell the product.
What the best value on a car cover for a C Sport Coup hatch that is absolutely waterproof?
and not blow away or tear! (and made by a company that will back it up).

Your best value is the Coverking Stormproof. It's less expensive than Covercraft but uses similar technology, is fully waterproof, soft inside, and has solid anchor points. Their company is reputable and will honor their warranty. It's the best protection for your situation without the top-tier price.

Unfortunately they don't have one in the covercraft stormproof for my car. The rain is coming soon here in Oregon. I ordered a sealskin cover. The car it is intended for, the paint already got messed up from a car cover I already own. 262k miles. So I mainly need to keep the water from leaking into the car. It gets in somehow but I'm not sure how and plays Havoc with the electronics. I replaced the tail light seals, at the old ones looks fine. The other lower mileage c230 is in the garage. So the seal skin should be fine for the older car hopefully. It has a lifetime warranty so we'll see.
