I got one of the blue ones from Supercheap..$ 60 , I think it was.......doesn't keep the rain out, but keeps all the leaves etc etc from collecting in the windscreen gutters.....doesn't scratch the paint , either.....

i got the same rat.....not good at keeping out the water....look as if it will keep out some sun but as for the water no way i looked at mine and its soaked i asked in a forum and some 1 said water proof and non vented were not that good ....i dont know lol...............not 2 worry

We have a few native trees in the yard....they drop a lot of tiny leaves...murder to get out of the front gutter on the windscreeen.....does an ideal job stopping them... ....I am not too worried about water.... .

mine does a good job it dont keep out the rain. as i live close to the sea i get a lot of sand in the air....it tends to keep the sand and salt of my car...im happy with it for what it does and it only cost me $35,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,cheers all...............tony

Ive found with them if you get ones that are water proof they eventully go hard and the treatment to make them hard sooner or later will STAIN paint work, I can tell you this from personal experince

I've also got one of the blue non-waterproof vented ones. The manufacturer also states not to leave it on for more than a week at a time and not to put one on if the car is wet and/or dirty.

good to see people looking after their cars. mine stays in the garage five days a week with a car cover on it
