The Motortrend Safekeeper, compared to the custom covers I have purchased in the past, is a better cover than any of them. This is my initial impression.In the past I have paid a lot more for a custom cover because I believed that you did "get what you paid for." However, after a year, or less, I was sadly mistaken. And those "lifetime warranties" suddenly disappeared in loopholes. Those “custom covers” seem to disintegrate the same as ANY other cover.If this Motortrend cover lasts more than 12 months I will be happy. That's as long as any more expensive custom car covers lasted.The MT cover is thick and soft. It has sewn in straps on the front, middle, and rear to secure the cover during those windy days. The 176-inch length is perfect for my 2012 Miata MX5. It covers all the way down to my tires. The only thing I miss are the custom mirror pockets and antenna glove. But I'm willing to do without those features . This cover looks good on my Miata.I recommend this product.UPDATE:After four months of heavy California sun with temperatures over 100-degrees, this cover has held up against tears. However, there is some disintegration with the surface layer. Dirt and dust have "baked" into the top plastic layer. I have been washing the dirt off of the car covers while they are still on the car and that worked to keep the covers clean and looking new for a while. However, no amount of washing has been able to remove the baked in dirt stains.I am sad to say that today, September 4, 2022, this car cover has failed after only FIVE month of sun exposure. I purchased this cover on April 6, 2022. Through this short time, the MT cover has become brittle and many tears are appearing.UPDATE: September 2022: I contacted MotorTrend Store Support to find out if there was a warranty replacement. I was referred to BDK automobile products from Amazon at [email protected]'m happy to say a replacement cover was received after providing photos and purchase information of the cover.UPDATE: July 2023, The same sun damage and deterioration is taking place on the replacement cover. The cover is becoming brittle and the surface is absorbing dust into the plastic, just as before. I believe the extra 4 months of longevity, this time, is attributable to the fact that for a period of time I covered the MotorTrend cover with another lighter car cover. A car cover to protect my car cover, crazy. Will I replace the MT cover with a new one from out my own pocket? Considering the alternatives, yes. Every car cover purchased in the past, as I’ve stated earlier, has not performed any better at even a higher cost; unfortunately. And I want to protect my car as much as I can.Other than a garage or car port, does anyone have any recommendations?
