Hi,
A couple of months ago i bought a car cover for my mini off ebay.
I used it for the first time a couple of days ago, my car was in the garage before, and the seller claims it is waterproof. I found out today that it isn't, my car was soaking wet and there is now a large rust patch coming through where the car has been constantly wet. I was wondering what i can do, is it too late to ask for a refund etc.
I would post a link but it says i cant as im a new user. PM me for the link.
In capital letters it says "TOTALLY BREATHABLE WATERPROOF CAR / MPV / SUV / 4x4 COVER". I think not!!!!!
Thanks,
Sam

I believe you only have 45 days from date of paying to raise a SNAD dispute"Now to trolling as a concept. ....

Breathable and waterproof... Expensive covers can be.
Cheaper ones are usually breathable & water resistant, they allow some water through but this should evaporate through the material.0
