Thank you, my issue is I don't want to do that every 6 months. The cover is poor quality. I can understand stress points, but the cover fails at non stress points. My plan is to look for better quality.

Please don't assume that all of them are equally bad. There may have been a bad run of the fabric used. We have one and it is holding up well. A replacement may perform better. You didn't say what model R-Pod you have. It may have gotten caught on something while you were removing it that normally would not be in a position to tear when it is sitting in place. That is something that can happen. You also did not say how many times you have put it on and taken it off. I have experienced the cover catching on rail edges and corners, even though I have attempted to pad every area where it could potentially snag and tear. In spite of that, I did experience a small tear the last time I removed the cover. It was not serious enough to file a claim. I just put a piece of tape over the snag. That should also help reinforce that place and should help prevent it from tearing worse. |

Keep in mind there is the Classic Accessories Polypro, the PermaPro Deluxe (which I ordered) and the PermaPro Heavy duty. So there are several choices.

Stephen,
I have a 178, I have put the cover on less than 5 times. I agree I could have received a faulty cover, what happened was I was pulling on the cover and my fingers went thru the material, it was not snagged or hung up. More like the material just was bad. Plan is to ensure I get highest grade cover.

The fabric used for the covers isn't really made for pulling. It is a non-woven fabric and does not have the strength of woven fabrics. Anything that is relatively pointed, even fingertips, can poke through. A heavy-duty cover would, of course, resist this better but would cost more and weigh more. Hopefully, you can find one that is the right combination of strength and economy that will work for you.
