Car Cover

(Note: I have rewritten this post because I initially reviewed the wrong cover for my car)

I saw that Seal Skin Covers was advertising here and I ordered one for my Series 2 Clubman and my Subaru Legacy. I got the weatherproof ones with the 5-year warranty. I put on the one for the Mini. It is good quality and worth the about $100 cost. The fit is good. There are straps that go under the front and back to secure it. There also are grommets at the middle for connecting a cable lock. I didn't order the cable lock but they included it at no charge. I don't know if that was a mistake on their part.

The cover is made of several layers so it is bulky when folded. It comes with a bag but I'm not sure I can compress it enough to fit in the bag.

The shipping receipt describes the kind of car you ordered a cover for but the packaging has an Sku number that isn't on the receipt. So I presumed the smaller package was the Mini's cover and the larger one was for my bigger Subaru. It turns out I had it backward which led to some misunderstandings with their customer service.

After some delay their customer service has been very helpful and responsive.

I will post a photo but first I have to wash the car. They say not to put it on a wet or unwashed car.

Anyone else have experience with Seal Skin Covers? If you have a car cover tell me about yours.

I'm just adding this comment in hopes those who read my first version of this thread will check back to see that Seal Skin's car cover indeed does fit. I was wrong.
