Has anyone any experience of waterproof winter covers for a modern S Type?

thanks Julian 

Hi Julian,

I have had good experience of a terrific outdoor waterproof cover for my 32yre old Merc SL from a company called Coverdale. here is a link for you to check them out but i recommend the model they call Platinum, it fits the car perfectly and is fully snug fit all the way around under the sills, front and rear bumper. They also include 2 straps to anchor the cover in very windy conditions.

And here is a pic of my SL under the coverdale, NOTE: that it is not anything like the bulk standard silver/grey shiny material, it's a soft feel waterproof fit.

Hi Paul

Thanks so much for this, I’ve placed my Platinum order

Evening Julian,

Your'e welcome, i always try to buy things from a recommendation and i just beleive their car covers are better than most you see around these days.

I also have one of their premium indoor covers which i keep on another Merc i have in Spain, it is also a very good fit and quality should you need an indoor cover.

Regards Paul.

 

Those coverdale covers look really snug fitting. good find paul!

I would love to put a cover on my X350 for it's winter hibernation but I'm a bit unsure if it's a good idea or not. I bought a cover a couple of years ago for about £200 and the fit was terrible. It was just a generic cover for a large car, even though the ad said it was specifically for my car. The instructions said that it should be removed every week to check for paint damage and it wasn't completely waterproof. In fairness the company gave me a refund, minus postage of course. Unfortunately  I can't remember the name of the company but if I come across the recipt, I'll report back.

My XK8 has a Dupont Tyvec cover and the fit is brilliant but I only use it as an indoor cover, not sure if it would be suitable for outdoor
