A great value
After testing this out a bit I've decided to leave a review that responds to the concerns I personally had before purchasing. I am covering a Mercedes CLA250
1. Will this cover scratch the paint?
No, it will not. That is the very simple answer. I'll update this over time if it does, but after checking the material and putting it on an off a couple of days in a row, there is no sign that it will.
2. Is it really one size fits all?
Not really. For my needs, it fits fine. However, I don't think someone who is a total car nerd would be happy with the fit I have on my car. It's a bit large. That being said, the fitted seams on the back and front hold it on tight enough that I don't mind.
3. Is it hard to put on yourself?
No. After putting it on one it takes me all of 1 minute to put it on. The only reason it was hard the first time is because I confused the front with the back. Once I realized what direction it is supposed to lay, I simply threw it over top (hiding the clips to not scratch the car) and hooked it on the front and mirrors. Then I just roll it over to the back. I also started from the back twice just because I was there and pulling it from my trunk. It worked fine. The back even hooked on by itself by the time I was done pulling the front. This is very simple to put on.
4. Is it weather proof?
Not sure. I will update this once I have a more formed opinion. The clips held in some heavy winds and the car stayed clean in light rain. However, this is just too small of a sample to know. I think that generally it will work for my purpose, but rather see it through some heavier rain and some snow.
Final notes:
I am overall very happy with the ease of use and utility of this product. For me, parking so close to other vehicles, it gives me peace of mind. I would like to see how long it lasts, but for now, I am very happy with the product. considering the price point, this is a no brainer purchase.
