Provides excellent water protection. Unfortunately it scratched my clear coat on my 2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat. There was a severe storm with winds of 65mph but the cover was left on the vehicle. To be honest I expected it to be a few houses down the road the next morning. I was able to get the scratches off with some polish, but that day I would have preferred to do something other than polish my car. I also liked the zipper on the driver's side. It was difficult. However, I brought it back in the process of looking for something with a microfiber lining, do they do anything like that? Fits my car perfectly but could have done without a scratch.
