Let's start with the positives:
- It is good, well made. Thick fabric and a nice cotton lining on the inside so it doesn't scratch and rests gently on the car body. I like that it isn't the classic silver on the outside and is a bit grayish. It looks more premium.
- It doesn't take up much space when folded.
- It has good stitching, which shows it will hold up in use. It is quite large and covers my car well, leaving a little of the rear windshield exposed. I should note that the car is a station wagon with roof rails. On one without rails, it would fit even better.
- It folds up easily and goes into its nice case, which tightens with a cord to keep it inside.
- It has a satisfactory, solid weight that holds it in place well so it doesn't move at the slightest touch.
Negatives (in my opinion):
- The cords it has with the rings for support do not seem to me to be of good quality for two reasons. First, they definitely cause scratches (I'm picky, I don't want scratches) if there is wind and movement, and second, the elastic cord/strap seems like it will stretch over time and won't do its job. I know this because I've seen it happen with other products that come with this tie-down.
- In calm conditions and with a little wind, everything is fine and it doesn't move, but with a bit more wind it inflates and gets carried away, slapping against the car body. If the wind is sideways, even worse. I tried to secure it a bit better by tightening the straps more, but I risked scratching the car body and the bumpers.
- The cotton on the inside, while a positive because it doesn't scratch as I said, is particularly sensitive to things sticking to it and not coming off easily. For example, if the car is not completely dusted and clean, dust or small droppings, leaves, etc. stick to it. Also, when you fold it up, if you touch it to the ground and there is anything dry underneath, it will stick to it like a leech. I know this because where I chose to park the first time I put the cover on there were scattered dry pine needles, and when I folded it up it accidentally touched the ground, causing many of them to stick to the cotton surface inside.
- Lastly, I wouldn't call this a negative because I knew it beforehand, but I would have liked it to have a little support from the inside, an extra thin layer of fabric that closes when the front doors are shut, so that it secures it first of all against wind movement but also against anyone sneaky who might spot it and grab it.
That's all, I hope I helped. It's not a bad choice for this money, but not everything is perfect either.
