    I'm glad yours fit well and worked. I don't have any comment on the cover itself because I never got to use mine, but I will comment on their customer service. I bought a cover for my mustang a while back. After about 2 months of delays they finally delivered a cover that did not fit my car and was missing all of the accessories. As others mentioned, their response was that it's a "semi custom" fit, however I couldn't even get it onto my car. They said they would send a different one if I paid for return shipping and shipping for a new one, they said the missing accessories wasn't their problem and wouldn't do anything about it. After fighting with them for months, I paid to send it back, and got a partial refund after having to pay for a "restocking fee." Seal skin basically got $40 from me for sending me the wrong product with missing parts. They might have an alright product, but I'd never do business with a company who has this type of customer service.

      The same thing happened with my seal skin for my 06 Corvette. It didn’t fit the car, it was expensive and a mild wind blew the cover off. Bottom line, it’s junk, save your money. Later they admitted they weren’t custom made for Corvettes.

    • @byoh100
      @byoh100 Год назад +2

      That’s a crappy fit!! Admit it or is Seal Skin paying you for the review. Yours fit better than my Corvette, but that’s still a crap fit.

    • @DieselLegiance
      @DieselLegiance  Год назад

      I don’t get paid for any reviews. And I’ve already admitted that it’s not the best cover out there, what more do you want? It’s a budget cover that I purchased for my car. Again it’s not perfect, but I used it until I sold the car.

    • @byoh100
      @byoh100 Год назад +3

      Diesel, my complaints aren’t really with you, but knowing what I know, nobody should give a positive review to any manufacturer that produces an inferior product, period!! When I purchased mine they showed a nice photo of a Corvette with their cover and called it a custom made cover. After it didn’t fit they said it’s not really a custom designed product! The person told me they had a lot of complaints about the fit on all automobiles, but they wanted to sell me a new cover at I believe 20% off. At $150.00, they should have given me a new cover at no cost. After it didn’t fit, I tried to rotate the cover 180 degrees to see if I had it on in reverse. After doing that I discovered that there was no front of back, the bubble for the cabin portion was was a mirror image as though there was a typical front and rear sedan window. Not at all custom for a Corvette with a rear lift hatch. Sorry if you took offense to my comments, but any time I see a “Seal Skin” cover on YT I will give it a thumbs down and bad comments. They are hucksters, they have a bad product and they know it, yet they persist in trying to scam new customers.

      Mine works fine. I have heard others say they are not that great but I don’t have a problem with mine. I still use it. I will say this, I wish it was a slightly better form fit as I had mine on in a rain storm and the wind lifted it off but I didn’t have it bungeed underneath either. Let me know if you find a better one for this price as I may try something different.

    Buyer beware. They advertise their covers as being guaranteed to fit.well I just got mine, and it's not close to fitting too long length wise and too short width wise. Their response, well our covers are "SEMI CUSTOM" NO WHERE,NO where does it say in their initial advertising that their cover is semi custom. This is the excuse they are giving. And by the way, it will take 2 to 3 weeks to get a replacement. Who knows if the next one will fit.

Said they sent conformation to my email which got dumped in to junk because it was amongst there unwanted advertising. So I say wrong color, no big deal. Put it on and discovered the elastic in the him was broken. Told send $35.00 for one time warranty. 9 phone calls 5 were dropped. The rest hangups more then 5 emails with days to reply. To day I'm told return denied because it's damaged. Not defective. $117.00 wasted. They have an F with the bbb of new york allmost 300 complaints. Other watch sites I sense have checked average 90 complaints. Frist clue was raped in trash like bag. No box. Second was a China product which seal skin didn't disclose. Go elsewhere to buy. They want your retuning business.

      It’s a low cost cover with a soft interior so it’s should not scratch but if it’s extremely windy and the cover is slapping around I would assume any cover could cause scratching under extreme conditions. If you that worried, you may want to look at a more costly custom cover.

    Wow! Look at me commenting on a year-old video. I applaud you for wanting to cover your awesome car, but I think you could have made a better choice. And as for that nice storage bag that came with your cover...It will never fit back in that bag. There's a reason it was vacuum packed from the factory. It's because that's the only way it would fit in that bag. So, unless you have a twenty five foot long table and know how to fold a parachute it's never going back in that bag. My Car Cover came with a storage bag as well. I use it to hold my dirty microfiber towels😏.
    So, it's been a year now so how did the Seal Skin hold up? The next time you need a cover try a Car Cover brand cover with mirror pockets. Once I tried one for my 2011 Grand Sport, I'll never buy any other brand. The craftsmanship, and the fit and finish are second to none. There's even an upside-down pouch sewn behind the grommet, so the anti-theft cable and lock never touch the paint. It has nylon webbing straps with quick release snap buckles for holding the cover on in the wind and overall fits like a glove. No puckers or loose material to flap in the wind. Best cover I have ever owned and for similar price. No lie.
    We all know that the cable and lock can be easily defeated but it is somewhat of a deterrent to the would be cover thief or some night creeper wanting to check to see if you left a door unlocked. Covers can also protect against graffiti. Hey, it happens. Considering what we have invested in our Corvettes the price of a good cover is the least of our worries.
    Keep it fast.

      @@TTime685 the problem with covers is everytime it rains it leaves moisture against the vehicle and whenever wind blows it creates friction that leaves marks. Better off with a canopy for sun cover. There are also portable garages like the ones from harbor. If it's that nice you could always have a metal building put up cheap. I'm looking in to them now. All a matter of budget and how careful you want to be. Covers will only damage your paint over time. Hope that helps and again, this is just my opinion.👍👍👍✌️

      I agree, but keep in mind, after the sale and discount I paid about $135 for the cover which is what you would typically pay for a basic dust cover. I agree, this is not the best cover out there but for the price, it’s not a bad value.
