Cartrend 70339 Half car cover "New Generation", weatherproof, size M, polyester blue, for VW Golf and similar models

Waterproof and fits car.

This cover isn't waterproof, it is water resistant. It keeps the downpours from getting in the door seals, which is what I needed. Flaps about a bit in strong wind, but properly hooked on at the corners, it hasn't yet come off. Its not thick and heavy, its light enough to handle and flip-up over the roof of the car.

Perfect fit for our Peugeot 307cc, covers all the bits that you need and the fixings are sufficient to keep it geld down, even in recent gale force winds.

Not waterproof. Why?

I bought this cover, delivered on 12 June 2024. So it is under 3 months old. Today is 3 September. It has been on my old BMW E46 cabriolet. It arrived neatly packaged in a bag. A good fit but immediately began to fade from a dark blue to what you see now. It has kept my hood free from dust and the windows also pretty clean. I’ve had to strap it down to prevent the wind getting under the cover. It’s not very waterproof but that did not trouble me. However I think the fabric which is thin is rotting in the sun as there is now a small tear in the front that I’ve taped up. So all in all for £20 and only 2+ months use I am not able to recommend. Problem is there is no route to have it replaced as it’s outside the Amazon return window. Think carefully before you shell out to buy this cover. The cover shredded in the wind not long after my intial report. I think is rotted in about three months. BEWARE!

This semi cover is listed as suitable for VW golfs. It is not. The cover is too small to cover both the front and rear screen at the same time and the elastic attachments are too long to hold effectively by clipping to the wheel arch. In any case they are terminated in hooks that don't attach to the wheel arch because the wheel arch on a Golf is taken up by a liner that covers the lip. The elastic is too short to pass around the spokes of the wheels and clip to itself, so all in all hopeless and I returned it. The material is lightweight and seems to be at least water repellant when bought. I doubt it would last more than one season though as it is so flimsy. I guess the best I can say about it is that it probably won't scratch the paint (much) because the material is so thin and light, Very poor value for money

I have a Peugeot 308 and purchased the XL size. It fits but the hooks are not good, we had to wrap the straps around the alloys and hook it together otherwise the hooks slip of the wheels. It's not very waterproof and it's such a light tent-like material that will just fly off in windy conditions, which makes it completely useless for the intended use (protection from rain). I would not buy this cover again and I'd wish I could send it back.

I bought this cover just to keep the Bird mess off the soft top as i have trees next to the car.
