last July just after I bought my 996 C4 I decided to buy a Quality all weather cover for it as the car is a toy and doesn't get used too much, well I bought a cover off of PARR-PARTSUK an eBay seller and I believe manufacturer, When it arrived it seemed very well made and I was pleased but as it was the summer I had no need to use it until the weather was getting bad, so around November/december I put it on the car and it was a tight fit (the instructions warned of this) but it did fit well, I have now used it at the most 20 times on and off12-14 more like it as the car was parked up with a dodgy waterpump, I noticed last week at the stress points which are on the mirrors and across the screen it is tearing were it is stretched to fit it is also tearing on the drivers side wing on the drivers mirror, last week I emailed the company through eBay as they run a shop on there and asked advic

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

last July just after I bought my 996 C4 I decided to buy a Quality all weather cover for it as the car is a toy and doesn't get used too much, well I bought a cover off of PARR-PARTSUK an eBay seller and I believe manufacturer, When it arrived it seemed very well made and I was pleased but as it was the summer I had no need to use it until the weather was getting bad, so around November/december I put it on the car and it was a tight fit (the instructions warned of this) but it did fit well, I have now used it at the most 20 times on and off12-14 more like it as the car was parked up with a dodgy waterpump, I noticed last week at the stress points which are on the mirrors and across the screen it is tearing were it is stretched to fit it is also tearing on the drivers side wing on the drivers mirror, last week I emailed the company through eBay as they run a shop on there and asked advice or to get an answer as to why I have not heard back from them they have my £145 and want to keep it, so very poor customer service for a cover that is worthledd for long term storage and DOES NOT like the weather as it seems to degrade the materials used so if you are looking for a cover id recommend that you avoid PARR-PARTS UK on eBay or anywhere else they advertise as you are wasting your money
