SLK cover recommendation

ierax · 08-18-2006

Can anybody recommend a decent cover for the car that does not cost the earth and the moon combined ?

Suitable for oudoor use.

Thats not this one at $198

I got it thrown in with the car as the dealer thought it was only 30$ cheapo.. haha what a suprise he got.

You're in luck, thanks voize on mbworld for the link only $21.95, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCE...spagenameZWDVW

Just make sure it's not something that will scratch it. Mine has a microfibre in to prevent that. guess why it cost so much.

The cover came with the SLK. The SLK suitcase cost extra. Both from my Bangkok MB dealer. But, I think both items are available from any MB dealer.

CoverCraft, Noah model, they are fairly thick and protect against animals and things falling on the car. Plus they don't scratch. I've used them on 5 or more cars. Here's one link, you can probably get it cheaper by searching.

I just check MBUSA, the car covers for MB are Noah fabric.

ierax · 08-18-2006

This Noah fabric looks good, but I do not think I will be able to find the MB cover here...I will have to find an online store that ships to Europe.....the eternal problem

*easty* · 08-18-2006

yes the cover does seem very good qaulity. If I go on holiday I'm very happy to leave the car covered with this in my apt car park. is it worth $200?? depends how much your going to use it I guess.

Yes, it fits nicely in the boot and there is enough room on all four sides to carry other things. I bought two of them: one for the SLK and one for the SL. BTW, MB also sells a bag just for the SL that sits behind the seats. It can be loaded or removed even when the SL top is up. Also, it does not block the view from the rear view mirror.

You can order by phone. The country code is 66. It helps if you speak Thai.
