Motor Trend SafeKeeper All Weather Car Cover - Advanced Protection Formula - Waterproof 6-Layer for Outdoor Use, for Sedans Up to 190" L (OC-643N)
I bought this instead of a custom car cover due to the cost ($80) and the temporary need for the car cover for one of my Integras that will be parked outside. I will say this fits really well and is thick, with a reflective surface which will be good in the Florida sun. There are no mirror pockets, because I heard that the pockets are stress/failure points for most car covers that are not custom made. This also comes with 3 straps that are usually an extra cost.
Thanks for the reminder! It’s holding up fine after two months. I’ve also used some UV protectant on the cover after about a month.
I would say it’s not as breathable at it says. The day after a rain, I do see a lot of condensation inside the engine bay (I opened it up to see what was going on). On subsequent rainy days, I didn’t open it up, but checked it a few days afterward. There was some of that aluminum oxidation around several bolts – as if water had been sitting on it for a while. Since it had dried up by that point, I sprayed some WD40 all over those spots. They look fine again. I think I’ll keep doing that just to keep things lubricated/protected anyway.
As you can see, the fit is a bit loose, but for $80 I think it’s fine considering.
Thanks for the update. I might pick one up. Wish I still had the OEM one. I wonder if they’re still available for newer models, like RSX or even Civic coupes that may be close in terms of size.

Just want to update that the cover is still holding up well in Florida sun. I use it about 50% of the time. I don’t need it anymore since I installed the cowl cover, but figured just because the Florida sun is so intense, it couldn’t hurt. I lost the garage space for the tegs due to needing storage for other items for a bit.
