Default Best Prices for Coverking Car Cover Online? Other Suggestions?

Turn around time is important too. They sell at MSRP on the Coverking site, but they note that some retailers sell for less. Do you guys recommend ordering from anywhere imparticular?

The car will be outside and experience all four seasons. I'd like the Stormproof version, but I'm not interested in spending $300. Four layers is a must. Does anybody recommend anything imparticular?

What material and what was the damage? How long did it take? In my experience, PP often doesn't have the best pricing.

This was years ago, it's a double layer cover, and I paid around $200 for it...only took about 2 weeks to get for my then 968 cab.

Their cover prices are better than MSRP. I might go with the Silverguard Plus for $160. Thanks, I wouldn't have even considered PP.

I bought a CoverKing 4-ply for storing my black car outside. I'm very disappointed. In less than 6 months it developed a hole near the spoiler where rainwater would pool. It just plain rotted out from the UV and water. It used to be bone dry under the cover but now it lets both water and copious amounts of dust through. I think the fabric was touted as Evolution something or another. My CoverKing red cotton cover fits better and is still in good shape (badly faded though) after 4 years. I'll never buy that 4-ply fabric again.

Costco sells one for 90 bucks -- it's not "made" for your car but will fit it nicely... And the price is good for what you get..
