Very Easy to Setup - Seems Durable and at a Good Price
I live in Michigan and usually keep my 300C in the garage over the winter months so it has never been exposed to road salt. My garage doubles as a gym in the summer, and used for storing my car in the winter. This year I decided to leave the gym open and have it available through the winter. When we get warm snaps (above 40), which we do often, my heater can keep the garage warm enough to work out - so that is why I bought this cover.
I was not sure what to expect in this price range but was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package. The material seems very strong yet soft enough on the inside where it won't scratch the finish. I was able to install it on my own in less than five minutes. Only has two tie downs that clip under the front and back of the vehicle and they hold very securely. I check it every now and then, especially after a wind day, but so far it has not loosened a bit.
We have not had any serious snow yet, but I don't expect that to be an issue. I don't plan to leave the snow on the cover either so as to extend the life a bit. But at this price point, I'll just buy another one when this one wears out. If it last just one season I'd be satisfied - not that I have low expectations.
Right now I can definitely recommend the cover just based on the material quality and ease of installation. I'll provide an update if things go awry.
Update 2/17/19:
It's the middle of winter in Michigan and we had some snow and also quite a bit of freezing rain and sleet. At one point there was three inches of snow on the cover. It eventually melted off and the cover is not sticking to any of the surfaces. Since it attaches at just the ends, it allows for a lot of air circulation. I can see the cover billow on windy days which some people might not like, but I prefer it versus something so tied down no air can get in. Still feels pliable and no rips or tears I can see.
Update 11/1/22
I am about to purchase another one of these covers for the same car and thought it might be good to leave a quick update.
I could probably get another year out of this cover but decided to just get another one. There is one tear on the top that I patched with some duct tape, but other than that it has held up well. The clip on one end broke last year but it was easy enough to work around that issue. I also added some rope ties in the middle by poking some holes and duct taping them to avoid tearing to help keep the middle area down tight since the cover came off when the clip broke and I had to jury rig it in the middle of the winter.
Even though I had these small issues, I am still happy with the purchase since the cover is made from strong material that has protected my car very well through three Michigan winters.
