I've just bought a Stormforce cover,and it barely fits, it's REALLY tight around the front and over the rear spoiler, so much so that it's going back! anyone else have the same problem? I'm wondering if they have sent the right one, the label says CCC167 is this correct? Help anyone? I've had a Voyager cover for a couple of years and it fits really well.

Iv just been looking at them! Is tight not good? I've got a Halfords one at the minute and it's blowing all over the place lol

Yeah mine is really tight, i couldn't get it on at first but then figured out that you have to put the wing mirrors in their pockets first, then it went on quite easily... just got to remember to take the radio antenna off first... which i didn't

I'll go and check the label on mine and post it up

Oh and by the way they don't hold up very well against cats claws... had mine 2 days then found a load of holes in it... bloody cat!!

Edit: Yep its CCC167

Thanks for that, as I said the Voyager fits really well, the elastic ends and straps hold it on well,( The wind should be able to get around the car under the cover) but the Stormforce is REALLY tight and doesn't really fit at all! it's so tight over the rear spoiler its liable to snap it off!!!!

Anyone else got one?

I've got one and it is pretty tight. I bet it fits the NA perfectly but the additional spoiler and splitters on the turbo make it a tight fit. I still think it's perfectly usable, I find it's easier if you put it on the back first then stretch it over the front so it's only just under the splitters.

I've also cut a couple of holes in the back at the bottom and I tie it to the holes in the bodywork/undertray with strips I cut off a thick plastic bag, otherwise I find the back portion can get blown upwards and flap about in heavy winds as my car is parked on an upward slope so the smooth underneath funnels the wind into the cover.

A top tip for repairing holes caused by cat claws is this stuff, really easy to use and is probably stronger than the cover!

It doesn't need to tuck under the front splitters, just tuck it under the front number plate. Mine to seemed to tight when I first got it but as stated, put the wingmirrors in first, then do the back and then the front. After a few fitments it stretches it slightly and seems to fit better. Also a good wax and polish makes it slide on all the more easily.

As an update, the designer for Cover-Zone is bringing a few covers from different batches out to me to try on the car, hopefully one of them might actually fit

Holy thread resurrection Batman !

 

 

Just wondered if you sorted this and if you are still using the cover how it's holding up ?

Looks like we'll be moving to a garage-less house soon so looking for a cover.

Edited cos I saw you're losing your garage !

That how I feel about losing it

[lagerwk]

On my second stormforce first one was replaced when it started delaminating, second nearly two years exactly same problem. Also you would either need to put a cut tennis ball over the arial else you will end up with a hole in it

[Ozzig]

Don't like the sound of that ! - I guess that's all under warranty free of charge ?

[lagerwk]

First one was replaced under warrantee, second one not as I have not contacted them, the next one will be covered by the old one to minimise the wear, specifically summertime. I would like to have one of these, http://www.cswshoppi...rage-p-134.html but to me they are far to high, if they had something much lower I would not hesitate to get one

Wow, I sold my VX about 2 years ago!

They brought out a few covers and we found one that fitted quite well in the end, the designer said that he would note the problem and try and amend future batches, whether they ever did this who knows!

[Ozzig]

Not sure that folding garage is quite in my budget either, when we move I think I'll just get a Stormforce and hope for the best - did either of you try the locking options ? 

[Ozzig]

Just ordered and Carl called me to advise the lock kit is included with it and I used the VX discount code to get 10% off !

Anyone else's cover let water through? Thought it was supposed to be waterproof..

[redvts]

Yeah they do

I just got one a few weeks back. It lets water through if it 'pools' so just make sure it's arranged properly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine was always alright.
