Default Covercraft Covers

Anyone have experience with the covercraft covers? Looking at the Weathershield and Block-It.

RainGear didn't respond to my emails or answer their phones and I didn't like the Bestop Trail Cover.

Thanks

I just ordered the Covercraft Block-it 380 Car Cover today and I looked for information as to what kind of issues others have had and couldn't find any. I second day shipped it and will no in a few days what the quality is like.

I have a covercraft cover for my JKU and it is awesome. After it rains, I literally just shake the water off and stow it in the attached bag. The bag attaches to the tailgate bar. Does not leak at all. I have the silver
one and its light weight as well. Not bulky at all.

Default Got a chance to put the covercraft cover on

My Covercraft cover came last Friday and I had a chance to put it on over the weekend. Its made very well, the one I purchased is to cover the whole vehicle model Block-it 380. In the photo the roof and doors are not on the Jeep so that's why it appears to be kind of hanging off it and the mirrors are not in the mirror pockets. You do have to take the antenna off the Jeep though but it comes off very easy. I'm not sure if it was worth 240.00 dollars but nothing is cheep any more.

It looks very nice. I am leaning towards not getting it though. I can think of about 1000 other ways I want to spend $200+. Thanks for the photo, let me know how it holds up in rain etc.

Yeah I can think of a lot of stuff I'd rather spend 200 bucks on as well. The main reason I wanted it is because when I have the doors and roof off I can leave it that way as long as I like and not have to worry about the inside of it getting all full of dust and dirt. Its going to work out great for that and its easy to put on and take off so It will be a breeze when I want to go out for a quick spin. My Jeep is garaged so rain is not an issue.
