The description says "water repellant". Does this mean it'll keep a parked car dry in the rain? Heavy rain?

I use the cover to keep the dust off in the garage. I'm thinking "water repellent" is sorta like a "water resistant" watch, you probably wouldn't want to go swimming with it on.

Car will stay dry in a light rain only,in a heavy rain the cover will eventually become saturated causing the car to become wet.

It was pretty good under little rain but when we had almost a week of rain, we had to pull it off. We do like it though! we went and bought a second one!

yes, it can keep rain out. keep in mind that there are fasteners that have to go through the strip making a hole and that the surface the strip is touching must make a good seal.

It seems to be water/snow resistant. You really don't want a water proof cover. It traps the moisture on the inside which is bad for your vehicle. For example, if you park your vehicle outdoors moisture would get trapped inside the cover from the ground, thus causing problems not only for the body but the engine. This cover breathes well, which is what you want so that moisture can escape/evaporate.

It does 'work' in the rain, but it is not waterproof, and it will absorb water and get heavy if soaked.

I installed this in my jeep wrangler which has been has been rained on multiple times with the top off and it has done well. I would define it more as water resistant.

Rain will soak through my cover where it touches the roof of the car. The sides do not soak through. The inside of my cart stays dry and clean after fairly heavy rain. Only the roof gets wet which is not a problem. It is not waterproof but it repels water. I do not know about Iowa winters or long-term storage.

Ted, this is a soft material that rolls up around the rear portion when you open it. It does not keep the water (rain) out of the bed. However the Honda has drain holes in the forward part of the bed, so there is really no problem on that count. I have had mine for almost a year now and have had no problems with it. Joe.

Hello, I just got this product today and it wasn't what I expected. I think that it could potentially prevent some water leaks, but hard rain or hail would probably deteriorate it fairly quickly. It might be worth a shot, especially for the price, but it would not be a long term solution. Hope this helps!

If this box sits out in the rain the contents of the compartmented parts holders in the lid and the contents of the box itself will not get wet. A driving downpour would get a little water past the lids just mentioned. If the box were dropped into standing water everything would get wet and the contents would get soaked.

It repels water very welll. The fabric of the exterior is DWR treated (DWR = durable water repellant).

Yes - it has a polymer lining that keeps the moister out. Mine has not been exposed to excessive rain nor have I dropped it in any puddles but it will keep your things dry.

Water resistant yes. Does a great job keeping your items dry. I believe it comes with a rain cover. If not, then I bought one for less then $5.

Yes it will protect against rain and is waterproof. If you have the cover on in a rainstorm and the rain stops you can peel the cover off and the jeep will be dry

The boat cover we put it on was already heavily exposed to sun. So I am not sure, but as a water repellant it was fantastic. Our cover made it thru many storms.

No its not like the other ones you probably looked at, no rain cover but it is pretty water proof, the material feels like felt almost but it's lined on the inside with something so your stuff should stay dry

You are out in the elements. The rain cover does help but if outside long enough, it will get wet.
