“Great service from MX5 Parts - cover arrived quickly and discounted price was good. The cover, inside it's storage bag, was received very heavily creased (possibly stored under something heavy in the warehouse?) which is unfortunate as I have found that it is along the creases that rain water eventually gets through onto the car hood. The cover is excellent in that it does no damage to the car and does protect the hood well. However, I have found previously that the half cover, if used continually (even with great care) has a life span of less than 2 years. I am concerned, with the heavy creasing evident this time, that it may fail even sooner.”

“Bought to replace my first one purchased several years ago. Quick and easy to put on with strong Velcro fasteners. Lightweight and stays put in strong winds. Good to protect the top from heavy rain or strong sun and easy to store away. Great product.”

“Overpriced for what it is, but it does seem to perform well and is quick and easy to fit and is secure when on the car. So far this Winter it has done its job well. In general, and despite the price I would recommend this cover. If it was a more reasonable price it would be 5 stars.”

“I have now been using this cover for 4 months now, very frequently, and feel can make a genuine assessment. First, it isn't strictly waterproof. If you think this is the answer to your dreams of leaving your '5 ND outside on your drive in the driving rain, pulling away the cover and seeing a dry hood, think again. It's 'waterproof' like some tents are; water does indeed roll off, but if you 'rub' the contact side (i.e the underneath) water seeps through. Of course contact occurs (the cover is, after all, touching the car!), so it seeps through. When you remove the cover after a day of rain, the hood won't look drenched, but it will have some pools of water on it, as well as being overall damp(ish). It's better than nothing, but certainly not a fully waterproof cover. Also, where it contacts the windscreen and rear glass, these areas get particularly wet, and concerning the the rear glass wetness, this if course then runs down onto the hood fabric immediately blow it, near the rear seal. Second, the fit is okay. Hasn't blow off, but it flaps a little by the rear quarter (i.e, the petrol cap area), which then tends to fold over, exposing some of the soft top in that area.Overall, it is 'better than nothing' when it's pouring down (but, again, don't expect a fully dry hood underneath) and totally fine for dry days, keeping bird much and pollen off the hood when the season marches into spring and summer. I guess it might even be fine for summer days to, to save the strong sun beating down on the hood all day. It's also good for frosty nights, with the hood then not covered in dew or frost the next morning. Finally, I think it was 'better' when I first purchased it to how it now seems, 4 months later. It has started to look more soaked in/saturated (the cover that is), so I have even tried applying a NikWax proofer to the outside. This has restored some beading off the cover, but not done anything of improvement to it's overall waterproof abilities.”

“As I couldn't seem to edit reviews, I meant to say in my review that I *WOULDN'T* (not would) put the cover on for extended periods, such as leaving the car for days etc, due to its apparently non-breathability.”

“Cover is very lightweight. Easy to fit. First use was on a totally hammering rainy day. Checking as the day went on, it seemed dry underneath, however, in the morning (still raining), it was wetter underneath, but I think that was formed by condensation. Hence, that in itself shows the cover isn't breathable, so I would put it on the car for extended periods. Of course, it also is fine for keeping sap and bird poo off the car, but again, I'd be wary of having it on just for the sake of it, given don't seem breathable. On major negative was the extremely high delivery cost. It cost (I think) £9.95 to 'deliver', but it is extremely light, was packaged in something that- at most- would have been 'large letter' size, and with no recorded or special delivery, just via the regular postman. Probably wouldn't have cost more than a pound, in reality, to deliver.”

“I have used this over the past winter and it has done the job of keeping the muck off of the soft top perfectly. It has an excellent fit as you would expect from a factory part. Recommended for those who don't need a full cover.”
