Anyone got any recommendations for a 3R? It must be an outdoor one.

I did buy a Stormforce but after 4 months the corner has gone through on the spoiler, and yes I did use the socks provided.

That means it's been moving up and down with wind getting underneath it. At a rough guess you haven't kept the straps under significant tension.

Easiest is to sew it back up by just pushing the worn through edges together inside and sewing through them (it'll sit a bit high but otherwise it's fine) and then put two bungies hooked end to end over the back of the car from one rear wheel to the other. That stops the rear end moving and it won't wear through.
