Stormforce car cover

[ianwayne]

Distinct lack of threads on here since the New Year so I'll ask others their opinions of the Car-Cover Stormforce cover. I've searched for threads and there are quite a few but nothing recent.

The RRP varies but is £140 ish at most places. Supplier on ebay had them listed at £110 and I thought hard about it. My car is always slightly damp inside being kept outside although it doesn't pour in.

Anyway, eBay had a one day offer on 28th Dec of 20% off any item before 6pm (max discount £75) so I ordered one. Fitted here:



So total cost was £88. I'm hoping it's well spent. Tried several other cheaper covers over the year and they've all been poor at keeping rain out.

Seems to be a good fit and time will tell. Any long term users with adverse opinions out there?

I cleaned the car (on the first dry day for ages a coupe of days ago) and put it on then. It's quite a tight fit which may promote scratches if any grit is in there and is a specific size (CCC257, not made to measure). If it keeps the worst out, that'll do.

There's a long story about a car port. It would have to be custom made, it not being a standard width. There was one there when I bought the house in 2012 but it was so shoddy, I had it pulled down. Free-standing? Pillars on one side? Guttering? Lots of issues.

I paid a deposit to a builder who never did the job and I'm half way through small claims court to get the money back. That's for another thread.
