How water-resistant are Stormproof Car Covers?

I have a targa that leaks a bit and I don't have a garage/carport to park it in/under. Therefore I'm looking for a car cover that sheds water very well, but still breathes. I'm considering ordering the Stormking from this site...anyone had any experience with it? Are there potentially better products out there?

Thanks

I had the same problem with a cab that I had... so I bought the one you're speaking of from our host and it performed beautifully. It's totally rain proof and is a great outdoor cover.

You still have to be careful with it though... somehow mine snagged on something and it ripped a one inch hole in it that was easily fixed with some duct tape.

I used the Coverking Stormproof and the car stayed dry through many rain storms for a year. The only problem I had once during a very strong windy rain storm and the cover lifted off the back, the cable was worth getting otherwise the whole thing would have blown away. The fit is snug otherwise.

I too use a Coverking Stormproof cover and am very pleased with it.

The car stays amazingly dry.

Great product. Excellent fit. I have seen the others that "breath" and the material on the stormproof is far superior.
