Will a r53 cover fit an f56?

im still looking fir a f56 outdoor cover. Has anyone tried using the older gens covers? There’s a few on eBay I like. But no f56 used ones... and $230 for a new oem one!

The F56 is 8 inches longer than an R53. Depends on how loose fitting the cover is.

Id say more than likely no. Is there a universal fit one you could use?

R53 will fit R56. But F56 is a bit bigger.

I have an OEM R56 cover that I'd part with. It was only used once. It's been in it's storage bag since then.

Thanks for the replies... So what I really should be asking is, has anyone tried a R56 cover on a F56?

Edit: I just bought a OEM F56 one. hope I like it...
