Great snow removal, lousy hardware

After the recent bad boy winter storms of 2018, this cover did the job perfectly, removing a thick layer of snow from a car in seconds. The car was dry and clean. BUT . The flimsy plastic latch that secures the straps that run under the hood and trunk to hold the lid in the wind - in this case the front one - broke on the second use: when I tried to remove the lid, the latch broke and broke without human intervention. Very disappointing. While it's not difficult for me (I'm a fit 74-year-old…

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Not bad

High quality, buy

Nice case, well finished and reinforced. Has two adjustable buckles that go under the car and snap onto the serviceable buckle. Inside is soft felt, which protects the car and does not scratch it. Also included is a lock and reinforced cable. I didn't use a lock and cable because the buckle straps work well enough to keep the lid secure. The car is a weekend car that we protect and it stays clean even with a cover. One person can fit and remove the cover, but it's much easier with two people. A

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Some bugs

Hacked 4 months, shot in 5 months

I liked it at first - nice and heavy. BUT - It only lasted 4 months. Began to fade to light gray after 2 months on horizontal surfaces. After 2 months (only 4 months) the outer surface started cracking and tearing all over, water seeping into the fabric from underneath and staying on the car paint - very bad!. The seam tapes have turned yellow and are now tearing and coming loose all over. The seams are uneven on the inside and scratch the paint where the seam rubs against the paint in the…

Waterproof car cover

This car cover does not fit my BMW 3 sports car. Wrong item was sent because the courier said it would fit. I think he was wrong about the car itself. It fits BMW Z3 series Sadan size etc very well, not Z3 roadster/sports car. I like the material and I want the case to have the same material that matches my car. my Z3 BMW/Roadster please as I am returning this cover for replacement. I need help with this please. I returned this top but customer service corrected this error and replaced my order

Pros
  • Smart design
Cons
  • Useless features

The wrong item was sent twice.

I had to order this car cover 3 times. The first time they sent me a cover with a hole torn out. After setting up a refund on Amazon they sent me a replacement which is a much cheaper model and definitely not the product shown here and totally different from the original I received. The cheaper model was made of a different material and had no welds. So I sent it back and they sent me another replacement which is the wrong model. Make sure you get the right model. It should match the picture…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Will be added later

Works well, no cable/lock

NO cable and/or lock included! Also, I bought it for my brother and he loves it as a cover. We immediately noticed that there is no "Motor Trend" lettering on the front panel, as shown in the picture. The only way to tell which way it's going is if you put it on (we had to flip it because of course we put it in the background words). So if they are all made the same way, you will need to fasten the seat belts on the passenger side. Also don't be fooled by the pictures of the vents as they will…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Destroyed paintwork

I bought this cover for my 2013 Magma Red 370z in April 2018 as I thought Motor Trend was a quality product I could trust for my weekend car. Well I washed my Z, let it dry well and put the covers on the next day. The car is in the driveway as it is no longer my primary means of transportation; Bought another car to commute to and from work to avoid commuting to my Z. Between April and September I got really sick so I covered it up without worrying because the cover was a Motor Trend product! I
