Looking for S550 Outdoor Car Cover...
Anyone have recommendations on the best Outdoor Car Cover for a S550.... Car is not a daily driver and no garage for a while due to renovations. Any suggestions are welcome. It will see all 4 seasons...
Thanks
Thanks

I used an OEM for a long time, still have one for my CLS too but don't use it anymore. It's pricey but fits like a glove; hood star and mirrors included too
They do wear over time from the elements, but I think it was for outdoors. The one I have for my CLS has lost a lot of elasticity but still serves it's purpose when need be.

[edit] it's $302 from autoanything, but Covercraft is available through other resellers too.

I have a Coverking Autobody Armor custom cover for my '15 S550 4matic, however I wouldn't recommend it. While it mostly fits and is thick, the cover fits badly around the mirrors when they are folded. I have other cars I keep covered with Covercraft Noah covers and they fit much better. If I were to do it again I'd go with the Covercraft due to the fit. Using the cover indoors helps keep the car from accidental scratches and from dust, both are rated for indoor/outdoor use. Both are waterproof and have tie down holes incase it gets windy.

pretty sure I used a generic cover craft while i went on vaca.... chking my cameras the wind blew it off 20 mins after I left for the airport. Neighbor put it back on for me and blew off again 1 hr later. I did not use the straps as i lost them.... fit was great tho nice and snug i didnt think it would blow away.

Yea Ibet, the one I have was really tight! prb 1 size to small yet the wind still blew it away. Im sure the factory cover is a way better fit. I waited until last minute to get a cover and wound up using One I already had.

yup, I went to greece for a few weeks, i had bought a windshield deflector, and since I was putting the cover on my s550, I put the deflector on my x5, only to find out the cover blew off and left the s with nothing! Meanwhile an 01 m3 sat safe in the garage...lol
