This cover does not seem to be waterproof. I found water underneath the first time I used it. Does anybody else have the same problem?

Would it be best to take this cover off car when rain is predicted? ...and recover when not raining?

If anyone wants a top of the line cover check the Rhino covers, not sure amazon carries them but any other car site, carparts/autoanything etc....I find doing mega web searches yields many options and opportunities for pricing and knowledge especially for cars, I find when you get emails with major discounts from them buy in bulk. g luck Dave-68 GTO.

Lee, did you find a better cover? I have a convertible 2008 Saab 9-3 that I've been trying to find a great cover for! Thought RainX would be a good bet, but not from reading this.....

The product is water-resistant, not waterproof. It's a great cover for keeping the, sun, dust, bird-droppings, tree sap, and fall leaves off of your paint. It's not meant as a long-term weatherproof cover, which cost a lot more money.

Sorry but I can't really confirm that for myself just quite yet. I just put it on 2 days ago. The product description said the cover was "good" when it came to rain and snow. We shall see.

Wouldn't say it is waterproof, it's more water resistant. I haven't had it in the rain for long periods but did accidentally spill water on it, the contents got damp. Hope the info was helpful!

The cover is not waterproof. The sponge cushion is a cheap material and will absorb liquid. When I took mine apart to wash the sponge ripped from the glue pretty easily so be careful when tugging and pulling it out. My daughter loves it so it's worth the $35.

It's not easy to get it, is it? Without instructions what we did was put the cover on top (after threading the string through the holes) and then tied the string tight so it stayed. I was not happy with the cover and have since tossed it...it sagged in the middle and trapped rainwater that would turn muddy and it was impossible to remove the cover without getting muddy water in the pool. The cover design needs improvement. Good luck.

I wouldnt suggest testing it in water to see how well it is. The piece to cover the charger didnt fit well on mine and it wouldve gotten damaged if i tested it. Buying a $20 waterproof case might be a better choice.

I've been wearing it as a cover over a down jacket, and my jacket has not been getting wet. I also wore it over a sweatshirt on a cruise ship in Glacier Bay. My camera got too wet to use again, but my sweatshirt stayed dry. I guess I should have used the jacket to cover the camera too.

I've had mine out prospecting in the rain several times and it seems to repel water pretty well. Over time, I'll just spray some Scotch Guard on it to maintain it's repellency if needed.

I don't believe it is waterproof. It can probably handle getting splashed with water but not immersed.

Yes. My cover has withstood the torrential downpours of the Georgia springs and I've never had a wet bike. Great cover. Very we'll made. Had mine for just over a year now.

It says waterproof in the description. The kind of plastic leads me to believe it's waterproof. I just went upstairs and poured a puddle on some slack material and let it sit a minute. Nothing happened, just sponged it off and it never went through. As with any cover bought anywhere, at some point in time they will become brittle and split. If you check it once a year you should be okay. This one is a little thicker than past ones I've bought. Mine is still in great shape.

Mine has been waterproof. I have had it on my Kayak for 2 years now and its always dry as a bone when I take it out. Its sitting outside in full weather too.

I have had the same problem. It doesn't seem as though it's waterproof. Once the guts get wet -- history !!! I think I solved the problem by smearing some silicon on the internal parts. It doesn't hurt anything, and it seems to have worked for me. Good Luck, Dj !!!

It looks like it is waterproof but you should contact customer service. They are VERY accommodating.

The cover has been water tight for me. Living in Phoenix, we do not get much rain but when we get it is very heavy.

I Have the same problem with my cover> It lets water leak in and then holds the water. I have to unzippe it to get the water out. Maybe thay put the waterproof side on the inside I'm not too happy about my canoe cover.

Its not waterproof just slightly water resistant. A sealer would help but nothings perfect. I have a kelty pack cover that I bought for it at rei.
