Default where to get a car cover

Anyone know where I can get a good car cover for the S?
I got a one from Carrfour, it always leaked water and was torn into pieces in just 4 months.

Gaja,

locally you have two options:

- Custom made (costs around 1000)
Some are really good
- Try the naif accessories market in dubai, get a universal Medium size car cover that will fit. only side mirrors and all wont match. See the material.

Carrefour ones are horrible. I had a custom cover, dont know where i kept it

Can you share a picture? I am very interested in that. I got a custom cover made it was perfect, thick and protects against everything. Dont know where i kept it when my car went in for engine change (1 month).

I'll get a new made if the Original is not available.

I'll try, my car is not covered now. I don't think the original protects your car from every thing but if u want to keep your S in shad it will be perfect.

Hey Ahmed,
Thanks. Honda show room first told me they dont have any covers so I went and got a one from carrefour. Later I went to their parts store to get something else and came across the blue cover. I was happy to see it and immediatly bought a one. Fits the car like a glove.

However after reading the instructions that came with it I discovered that it is a rain cover not a dust cover. Obviously it does not leak water and therin lies the problem. It is not breatheble. The temp inside the cover when it is not raining can go really high for that reason. If moisture is trapped between the car and the cover they wont vaporize as they would with a breatheable cover (one with little holes) but they would heat up and could damage the paint work. I think Honda also has a breatheable dust cover for the S2k which is much more expensive than the blue one I bought but I am not sure if the dealer here carries it.

That being said, it is so dry out there now so moisture does not form on the car in the morning and I have been using this cover. I would be more careful in the winter when there is dew in the morning.
