Where to buy car cover?

[ken yeang]

Guys, anyone can recommend me where to buy good car cover? I need to have it as my car is leaking at the rear windscreen esp. during recent heavy rain....sigh...so a cover can prevent leaking at the same time can use to prevent dust settling on my car..

I have tried those supermarkets' car covers that sold for abt RM30, but all of them did not last long as it would koyak too easily, due to thin plasticky material, lousy seam quality.....

Any idea, guys?

fluffy,

I've tried 3 times using the grey color car covers, sold in those supermarkets. They all koyak, punctured and leaked at the seam within 2-3 months. When it started to koyak abit, I patch them with sticky tapes (inside and outside surface). Eventually, the whole excercise made the car cover looked like "baju pengemis". Ppl thought I am so kesian and kedekut pulak.
That is why I got feed up with these covers and therefore looking for better quality ones.

I wouldn't mind paying more as long as it last longer.

AccordRacing,

Whey did you find those high quality car cover with cotton inside? Which supermarket? All I found were those grey plastic cover with nothing inside. I even tried ACE hardware stores in KL, numerous car assesories shops...but all selling the same lousy covers....

Foreign car magazines used to advertise car covers. They comes with waterproof fabric, with codroy cloth on the inside. In addition, the cover was claimed to be made of breathable material so the car being covered would not smell musky....

However, these covers are expensive and only available in oversea......sigh...

what happned to Malaysian Car owners? They don't sayang their car?

I saw once at Brothers selling a car cover that worth RM130/RM150. Still same grey colour but donno bout the quality. They got few type of cover but this is the most expensive one and the cheapest is around RM30.

Maybe you should have a look at Brothers perhaps?

hehe, Andy...I test water first then if untung in biz I look for you.. How much modal u got?

Magnesium: Really? Brothers got the car cover? Well, this place used to be my last choice among all accesories shops when I shop for car products, as Brothers have pretty bad reputation selling quality stuffs. Anyway, I'll just drop by and check it out. Thanks man!
