and...............................

Took cover off this morning to use the car, and when i removed it the car was wet

When i tucked her up last night she was bone dry

Reckon i could take it back? I think it takes the piss IMO that it let the water through? Waste of money.

Its more likely to be condensation than leakage.

It'll be condensation mate, when you've put the cover on, will have trapped humid air against the car that's condensed as it got cooler through the night, leaving moisture on the car...

Wow, don't I feel knowledgable

I got a car cover yesterday as well.

At least it keeps the rain out, which at the moment is a real problem. FCUKING WEATHER

A car cover is for when there is heavy frost about and this will save you from De-icing the car

its the car cover at fault as it wont be made from a breathable material.

We sell a car cover at Halfords which is made by tyvek, costs a shocking £50 but is completely breathable and doesnt let water form under it.
