Seal Skin Car Cover Review For My 2008 Corvette C6

- What’s up everybody? In today’s video, I will be doing an unboxing, install, and review of the Seal Skin Waterproof Car Cover for my 2008 Corvette C6. These covers are waterproof, they have a tie point underneath if you choose to use the supplied cable to lock the cover in place, and it has the soft finish under the cover so not to scratch your paint. This is an “OK” protective waterproof cover and will protect your vehicle much more than a basic fitted dust cover but just be mindful, it is an “inexpensive” waterproof cover so the quality and fitment is not going to be the same as covers that cost $500-1000 or more.
They retail for around $350 but usually on sale for around $150 and then I used a discount code “COVERME” for 10% off.

I'm glad yours fit well and worked. I don't have any comment on the cover itself because I never got to use mine, but I will comment on their customer service. I bought a cover for my mustang a while back. After about 2 months of delays they finally delivered a cover that did not fit my car and was missing all of the accessories. As others mentioned, their response was that it's a "semi custom" fit, however I couldn't even get it onto my car. They said they would send a different one if I paid for return shipping and shipping for a new one, they said the missing accessories wasn't their problem and wouldn't do anything about it. After fighting with them for months, I paid to send it back, and got a partial refund after having to pay for a "restocking fee." Seal skin basically got $40 from me for sending me the wrong product with missing parts. They might have an alright product, but I'd never do business with a company who has this type of customer service.
The same thing happened with my seal skin for my 06 Corvette. It didn’t fit the car, it was expensive and a mild wind blew the cover off. Bottom line, it’s junk, save your money. Later they admitted they weren’t custom made for Corvettes.
That’s a crappy fit!! Admit it or is Seal Skin paying you for the review. Yours fit better than my Corvette, but that’s still a crap fit.
I don’t get paid for any reviews. And I’ve already admitted that it’s not the best cover out there, what more do you want? It’s a budget cover that I purchased for my car. Again it’s not perfect, but I used it until I sold the car.
Diesel, my complaints aren’t really with you, but knowing what I know, nobody should give a positive review to any manufacturer that produces an inferior product, period!! When I purchased mine they showed a nice photo of a Corvette with their cover and called it a custom made cover. After it didn’t fit they said it’s not really a custom designed product! The person told me they had a lot of complaints about the fit on all automobiles, but they wanted to sell me a new cover at I believe 20% off. At $150.00, they should have given me a new cover at no cost. After it didn’t fit, I tried to rotate the cover 180 degrees to see if I had it on in reverse. After doing that I discovered that there was no front of back, the bubble for the cabin portion was was a mirror image as though there was a typical front and rear sedan window. Not at all custom for a Corvette with a rear lift hatch. Sorry if you took offense to my comments, but any time I see a “Seal Skin” cover on YT I will give it a thumbs down and bad comments. They are hucksters, they have a bad product and they know it, yet they persist in trying to scam new customers.
Thank you for putting this out there.
Hi Matt! Thanks for all your excellent reviews. I need your help! Which black or dark color covers would you recommend for a Toyota Prius? Suggestions on where to get them? I need them to withstand stains. Thank you Matt!!!
I bought one for an old Porsche I have. First storm the rain went right through it. Not a bad storm -just a rain storm. I noticed that comments on the Seal Skin covers are usually turned off here. Wonder why.
I don’t turn comments off. It’s not the best cover. I agree. But, It is a budget cover.
Will it protect well against sun rays?
Thank you for the review and thoughts. Two Sealskin Covers on the way!
It’s not a perfect high quality professional cover but for the low cost, it’s really not a bad value.
@@DieselLegiance Hey, if it works better than the cheap amazon junk, its better than keeping my cars outside with nothing! 😉
My condo has no garage, and every monday, the 'landscapers' blow dirt and filth everywhere, ruining my effort washing and waxing.
Yep 👍🏼 my thoughts exactly
Which version of cover did you get? Like how many layers? Man.. I reading comments here saying this is not a great cover.. mine just shipped, and can’t cancel anymore 😢. Anyway, I’ll give it try
I don’t remember as I already sold my C6 but from what I remember, I didn’t have any issues.
Hi there! I am looking for a cover for my GMC Savana. I live in Eastern Europe and here this van is pretty exotic. So You can not cover for it in Europe. So I have to look it for in USA. My question is, please: HOW DURABLE is Your Seal Skin cover? Does it last long? May be You can recommend some another brand or on-line shop? Thanks ahead. With all my respect, Nick
The Seal Skin is a good “value” cover as it’s a low cost for decent quality features. Obviously there are better covers out there but they cost 3-4 times more.
Any follow-up on this cover? I bought one accidentally after watching this video, but it seems that they are junk. What do you think?
Mine works fine. I have heard others say they are not that great but I don’t have a problem with mine. I still use it. I will say this, I wish it was a slightly better form fit as I had mine on in a rain storm and the wind lifted it off but I didn’t have it bungeed underneath either. Let me know if you find a better one for this price as I may try something different.
@@DieselLegiance nice car, and nice location where you live there. What area of the country is that? And what kind of rims did you have on the car? Also wanted to ask if you think it would have stayed on and not lifted off if you had that cable attached through the grommets when you said it blew off?
Westmoreland County. I bought Z06 Replica rims from Fitment Industries. Also, if I attached a bungee or the included cable for t probably would not have lifted off during the rainstorm so that was my fault.
@@DieselLegiance nice, what state is Westmoreland county in? It looks like beautiful countryside from your location. Also any more thoughts on the cover and are you still using it, I'm shopping for one
It’s in West Pennsylvania. I’m actually selling mine as I only used it once for a review but my car is almost always in my garage so I never use it. It’s listed on eBay. www.ebay.com/itm/284541638687?mkevt=1&mkcid=16&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
The review mentions waterproof but I just parked my classic car outside and it got soaked after a day of rain.
I’m not sure? I have used mine a few times and my car never got wet.
Have you tried the supreme version?
No I haven’t.
so they aren't vehicle specific? no mirror pockets?
I think they are categorized by vehicle style but they list it on their website.
No mirror pockets as was shown when I bought mine, then they told me I could fold the mirrors in, well Duh!! I already knew that, they really are Aholes!!
I saw it advertised for hail protection, doesn’t look like it’s thick enough for that
Small hail maybe, but large hail definitely not.
Do you have a one year after review?
I had it for several months with no issues but sold the C6 with the cover so not sure at this point.
You were supposed to get straps for the cover.... Seems like this company has issue with shipping the correct cover and accessories.
Will it cover it against hail??
I would assume not. Hail could still cause dents.
If their warranty isn’t any better than their cover, “forget about it”! Take it from me.
It looks way too tight and it doesnt look pretty but maybe it does the job.
What happens when in the future you pull the then dirty/dusty cover to fit? maybe scratches
Your property is sick
just so people know the lock is for children tampering with your car not for adults lol
I was looking at getting one for my vette but after seeing this ill pass and go for something else!
I agree. I just did this video to show people what a budget friendly cover looks like.
@DieselLegiance yea I usually keep mine in the garage but sometimes like you I need to pull it out to work on other stuff.
@TJsVette yeah, I ended up selling mine but I’d love to get another one someday
Buyer beware. They advertise their covers as being guaranteed to fit.well I just got mine, and it's not close to fitting too long length wise and too short width wise. Their response, well our covers are "SEMI CUSTOM" NO WHERE,NO where does it say in their initial advertising that their cover is semi custom. This is the excuse they are giving. And by the way, it will take 2 to 3 weeks to get a replacement. Who knows if the next one will fit.
I’m sorry to hear that. Mine fit pretty good with no issues. I have since the video posted sold the corvette so I no longer have it or the cover but the times I did use it, I had no issues.
Did you get a replacement that fit yet?
Does it scratch your paint if it’s windy too????
I bought a cover for my F150 Supercrew and the fit was not good at all, way too loose. In a breeze the cover blew off at the ends. No way to tie the ends down. Very disappointing.
There was nothing on the cover and nothing on the packaging to indicate that I had received the "Supreme" cover and not some lesser Seal Skin cover. That is NOT a "fleece" lining. It looks like some cheap paper lining. The antennae "patch" is a joke and worthless. I ordered gray and got white.
I wanna know if this cover will scratch your paint if it’s windy as hell?????
It has a soft inner liner so it shouldn’t but keep in mind, it’s not a perfect fit but for a low cost cover, it’s not that bad.
@@DieselLegiance
I had a cheaper cover the wind scratched my paint so I bought this one but if it’s gonna scratch the paint it’s junk to me??
It’s a low cost cover with a soft interior so it’s should not scratch but if it’s extremely windy and the cover is slapping around I would assume any cover could cause scratching under extreme conditions. If you that worried, you may want to look at a more costly custom cover.
@@DieselLegiance
Yeah good point… I read all about the layers on this one but where I live it gets pretty windy at times and I don’t wanna take the chance on the paint..thanks for the input.
It won’t hurt the car finish in a heavy wind because it will have already blown off by that time, if it was made the same as mine.
All I know is my friend has one and it seemed of good quality and actually waterproof unlike most out there even though they say they are. Either way I ordered one the other day with the hopes it is just as nice as my friends. I am not expecting a perfect fit for my car just hope it stays snug and holds out water.
How did your cover work out?
@@angieg4811 Nice cover as I expected but I did send it back for them to make me one just a little bigger. Mine was just a little too tight and with only 2 layers I know the fenders would be poking through in no time. For the money I'm still very happy and it will serve it's purpose.
@@mikebas7325 on return, how that work out for you? I had a cover made a local shop. Back loged a year but worth the wait.
I ordered a sea doo cover less then a month ago. They sent wrong color $25.00 to exchange. Said they sent conformation to my email which got dumped in to junk because it was amongst there unwanted advertising. So I say wrong color, no big deal. Put it on and discovered the elastic in the him was broken. Told send $35.00 for one time warranty. 9 phone calls 5 were dropped. The rest hangups more then 5 emails with days to reply. To day I'm told return denied because it's damaged. Not defective. $117.00 wasted. They have an F with the bbb of new york allmost 300 complaints. Other watch sites I sense have checked average 90 complaints. Frist clue was raped in trash like bag. No box. Second was a China product which seal skin didn't disclose. Go elsewhere to buy. They want your retuning business.
I actually sold my C6 so I don’t even have the cover anymore but the few times I had it parked outside in the rain it did keep my car dry. The fitment of the cover was not great but maybe I lucked out with my cover at that time? I’m sorry you had a bad experience.
Your comments really help my decision on getting one. Thanks.👍
They’re hucksters, accept your loss and move on to another manufacturer. Their products are JUNK.
Wow... Not fitted at all? I would not use that on my car. That fits well? We have different definitions of "fit". ;-)
It’s not the best cover nor the best fit but for around $150 or so, for a waterproof soft touch cover, it’s not that bad. I don’t even have the car anymore but from what I remember, it kept my car dry a few times I had to park outside.
Is there a number of that cover.i ordered one it's pure shit.
Sorry, sold the Vette and the cover so don’t recall.
Would u recommend for a 18 camaro rs
Yeah, they are a good value cover. They can be found on sale for sometimes just over $125 which is a good price for a waterproof cover.
They are a lot of money for not having mirror pockets.
I agree. It’s not the best cover out there, but compared to other waterproof covers, it’s not a bad value.
I called about this a day ago and they said mirrow pockets put too much stress on the mirrors so they don't make them anymore.
@@TheStardspl24 That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. They should be ashamed of themselves for telling you that. I've always bought "vehicle specific" car covers, and they've always had mirror pockets. These are pretty much just generic car covers. Sort of like a "one-size-fits-all". Mirrors are not in the same position on all vehicles. That's also why they're baggy and don't follow the contours of a specific vehicle.
So those their covers from Seal Skin aren't custom fit. They have several shapes and just group cars into each fit. That why that cover on your C8 is such an absolutely terrible fit. The material is nice, but those fits are just horrible and I think this video of your proves it.
Agree 👍🏼
I had a seal skin cover for my C-6 convertible…….it didn’t fit at all……threw it in the trash.
The cover fell apart within 6 months.
Would not buy a product from these people ever again
I was researching a car cover for my son's convertible and I have read nothing but complaints about seal skin and how are they are scam artists. I saw another video where you were recommending seal skin so this is definitely not the only one you've made. There must be some kind of relationship between you and the company. I'm just warning everybody do not buy Seal Skin. They are crap and you will regret it!
Well, I’ve only had 1 Seal Skin cover for my corvette. I said it many times, It was an “ok” budget friendly cover. I never said it was the best cover out there. There are better yet more costly options available. Now, I have done reviews on other brands of covers for UTV’s and Trucks but only the one Seal Skin.
Wow! Look at me commenting on a year-old video. I applaud you for wanting to cover your awesome car, but I think you could have made a better choice. And as for that nice storage bag that came with your cover...It will never fit back in that bag. There's a reason it was vacuum packed from the factory. It's because that's the only way it would fit in that bag. So, unless you have a twenty five foot long table and know how to fold a parachute it's never going back in that bag. My Car Cover came with a storage bag as well. I use it to hold my dirty microfiber towels😏.
So, it's been a year now so how did the Seal Skin hold up? The next time you need a cover try a Car Cover brand cover with mirror pockets. Once I tried one for my 2011 Grand Sport, I'll never buy any other brand. The craftsmanship, and the fit and finish are second to none. There's even an upside-down pouch sewn behind the grommet, so the anti-theft cable and lock never touch the paint. It has nylon webbing straps with quick release snap buckles for holding the cover on in the wind and overall fits like a glove. No puckers or loose material to flap in the wind. Best cover I have ever owned and for similar price. No lie.
We all know that the cable and lock can be easily defeated but it is somewhat of a deterrent to the would be cover thief or some night creeper wanting to check to see if you left a door unlocked. Covers can also protect against graffiti. Hey, it happens. Considering what we have invested in our Corvettes the price of a good cover is the least of our worries.
Keep it fast.
I appreciate your comment. I agree, not the best cover. But, for the money, it was not bad. It’s a budget cover, you can’t expect the same quality as a $400+ cover. I don’t even have the car anymore as I sold it.
Seal Skin for the money is the best their is. Who cares about the bag 😂
What brand did you buy? Is it literally called "Car Cover"?
🐊🇵🇷🦅👍
OMG. I regret buying this brand of cover today. That looks horrible. Get what you pay for folks.
Worst bullshit car covers ever, bought one for a 73 el Camino, got their top of the line cover, didn't fit right too tight and tore instantly emailed them and never heard back.
🤣
It didn't look like a perfect fit lol
It’s a value cover, it’s not perfect but did the job.
Looks like shit needs mirror pockets!!!
True, but for this low price, you can’t expect much more out of the cover than basic protection.
Seal covers are junk! That's a nice car...you should find a better cover. Warranty will not cover the damage created. Do yourself a favor and don't wait too long. Mine leaked after the 1st year. Then they want it back to inspect while your car is exposed. Waste of time and money!!!
Thanks for the input. I’ll keep it in mind.
@@RyanC_04 Did you ever find a good car cover?
@@johncross436 I did not. At the time I searched and searched. Didn’t want to have to try every brand out there and waste money. My car has been getting worked on so much that I haven’t had the spare time/money to try and find a different one.
The seal skin one I have.. I basically called it a loss with how the company dealt with me. I use it as a dust cover or to keep the dew off it at night.
What covers do you recommend for outdoors?
@@TTime685 the problem with covers is everytime it rains it leaves moisture against the vehicle and whenever wind blows it creates friction that leaves marks. Better off with a canopy for sun cover. There are also portable garages like the ones from harbor. If it's that nice you could always have a metal building put up cheap. I'm looking in to them now. All a matter of budget and how careful you want to be. Covers will only damage your paint over time. Hope that helps and again, this is just my opinion.👍👍👍✌️
Looks cheap
that thing is horrible, custom fit lol OK
I agree, but keep in mind, after the sale and discount I paid about $135 for the cover which is what you would typically pay for a basic dust cover. I agree, this is not the best cover out there but for the price, it’s not a bad value.
@@DieselLegiance yeah I suppose. I just wish I watched some reviews before I bought one for my jaguar, will be here next week.
Wow that looks like shit
Lol yeah it’s not the best looking but it was a $100 waterproof cover, what do you expect.
The word SHIT doesn’t really cover it!!
