Fits RAV4 2017 Good

I've only had this case for 3 weeks but it seems well made and fits my RAV4 2017 like it's a more expensive custom job. The elasticity is good and the straps on the front and back help to fix it in place. It's interesting how breathable the silver exterior is, but after a couple of rains the car stays dry. The felt inlay is quite thin, but prevents the lid from scratching the paintwork. I know from years of buying car covers that this fabric seems to be a big improvement over previous fabrics. The highly acclaimed Sunbrella fabric isn't very waterproof after a year of use, and if left in the sun it will begin to fade and rot, particularly at the seams. If your car is under a carport or in a garage, Sunbrella fabric is good and will last for many years, maybe 10 or more. The well-known Kimberly Clark Evolution fabric is not very durable. If it's on a car sitting in the sun after 2 years it will start to dissipate and just form a big yellow flaky mass on your cars making clouds of yellow dust when you shake it, also it holds dirt and can damage your paintwork. . If you live in an area where fine sand and other dust accumulates everywhere, I would definitely avoid the Evolution fabric. In 2 years I will report how this coating held up. The price was much cheaper than similar (same?) covers sold in many online stores. Made in China, of course. Since most current CUVs/SUVs are shaped similarly, this Motor Trend brand should fit. Use the buying guide to make sure you choose your car. The length is the most important part.

Pros
  • Excellent overall specs
Cons
  • Does not fit all
