Car Cover Recommendations for MK5 GTI
« on: July 21, 2025, 06:35:11 pm »
Hey folks,
Has anyone found a good quality car cover for the MK5 GTI that fits well and doesn’t leave marks or scratches on the paintwork? Ideally looking for something breathable and soft-lined that offers decent protection. Would be great to know where you got it from if you’ve had a good experience.
Cheers!

Hi,

I've had 2 from every car covered, weather pro versions. One replaced under warranty, Initially they do a good job but after a year the outer layers break down in the sunlight UV leaving dust all over the car. Although they still offer protection you have to clean the car after removing the cover.
I'd be interested in what you find because my second one now needs replacing  :happy2:

Hey, this is what I’m thinking of after looking around. It’s a bit of a minefield out there with lots of subpar options. This company offers tailored-fit covers, and they recommended the Outdoor Plus for the Mk5 GTI. Hope that helps! Here’s the quick link: https://www.specialisedcovers.com/p/outdoor-plus/

Do you know anyone who's had one of those? or what they are like?

Hi, I don’t know anyone personally who’s had one, but I’ve read a bit about them — they seem to get decent reviews overall.
