Hi,

I bought a (supposedly) fitted cover on eBay and the fit came up rubbish, so I returned it. Have now bought one from CoverCraft and am waiting for it to arrive. Once I have it I'll let you know of my thoughts, although it was fairly costly and perhaps not worth it if you're just gonna be needing it for a year or so.

Hope this helps

Lots of threads on this - have a search.

I've got a stormforce one myself then found a garage. It's a bit of an arse to put on / fold up and put away - didn't really work for me but I'm keeping it if I have to give the garage up for any reason.

The cover I got and sent back was Stormforce, I'm convinced they sent the wrong one. How does yours fit?

I got my cover from coveryourcar.co.uk initially they sent the wrong cover it was the storm force one i ordered they sent me something one too small so I emailed them and to their credit they sent the proper one and took away the other one at no extra cost.Sometimes companies expext you too incur the cost of shipping on the replacement as I live in Ireland.I am very happy with my cover

The cover I had fitted ok. I got it from coveryourcar as well SKU29460.

Didn't use it a lot though as I said - it's a pain to fold up and put back in the bag, someone who does parachuting gave me a hand :)

Here's an alternative site: Hamilton Classic - copy this link,

They do a lot of different indoor an outdoor cover types and a variety of storage system stuff. Yes it's all a bit pricey but I think "you'll get what you pay for".
