Good info. I delayed and delayed but we had a snowstorm coming in this week. Got a tarp on her just in time for 8 inches of snow! Attachments:

I thought I'd update this. That cover I bought turned pink and ripped in two places when I took it off this week. Tear strength is pitiful. UV got it. I guess it's back to tarps.

That sucks, I guess it wasn't the same as mine. My cover is still in good shape.

Mine's in full sun, so that might have something to do with it. I contacted the company since it has a 5 year warranty. Based on Amazon reviews, it sounds like the company is pretty good at avoiding honoring it. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Well I made it another year with the cover, but it's not going to make it another month. I finally turned in a warranty claim today, Had to turn in photos of the tag and damage..

I hope they give you a refund, sounds like you wouldn't want a replacement.

I don't think refund is on the table. If they send a replacement, I'll coat it with that coating I made for my vinyl seats and it should go a good 6 years. It's a shame because it fit really well and I like the over the T-top design. It gets hot in there. So hot I find lots of dead wasps in there, which is much nicer than finding live wasps in there.

This is one of the reasons I'm apprehensive about buying a cover. Yes, I'm cheap. But spending 5 or 6 hundred for a cover is not inexpensive to me when they only last a few years. Tarps are working ok for now, however you are better off trying to get a heavy duty one if possible. Really like the idea's of the noodle and mat as I currently have the antenna and one rod holder peaking through.

Good news! They are sending me a replacement cover. It cost me $25 shipping, but it looks like I'll get 5 years out of it after all!
