Audi A8 Car Cover - PRICE DROPPED - $75 (Lakeshore East)
Harbor Drive near Randolph
QR Code Link to This Post
$75 O.B.O.
Custom made for a 2016 A8L (122.9" wheelbase). $299 new. Used for a couple of months in FL in 2020. Been in my storage locker ever since.
Probably fits 2017-2018 A8L models also. They have the same wheelbase. Newer models, thru 2025, have a wheelbase of 123.2"--less than half an inch difference-- so I'm guessing it will work well on them as well.
Silverguard™ is a great all-weather fabric used by Coverking for their custom car covers. Silverguard™ is a special woven polyester fabric made with 300 denier yarn (twice as thick as similar fabrics) with a thick, silver reflective urethane coating on the outside. The polyester material is non-scratch and the urethane outer coating should withstand extreme sun for years.
MATERIAL
Coverking developed Silverguard™ to address the middle-market with special consideration for sunny climates. Silverguard is also fairly compact and water resistant, so it is a great all-round cover.
CONSTRUCTION
Coverking uses wax coated thread in overlapped, double stitched seams. The wax coating expands in the pierced hole created during the stitching process, to help cover the hole. Competitors take the cheaper route by using an ultra-sonic welding of the material instead of sewing. This process is far cheaper, because it melts the fabric layers together. It also doesn't use any thread. Unfortunately, the area melted together becomes very hard and examples of scratching the vehicle surface are not uncommon.
