Are Car Covers Worth It? Pros, Cons, and Why TEHU Stands Out
Car covers are a smart investment for any vehicle owner, offering a protective barrier against weather, dust, scratches, and other potential damage. While they offer many advantages, it’s also important to understand their limitations before making a purchase.
In this section, we’ll break down the key benefits and drawbacks of using car covers—and highlight the standout features of TEHU covers that make them a reliable, long-lasting solution for keeping your car safe and well-maintained.
Disadvantages of Car Covers
Moisture Retention
If the car cover isn’t breathable or becomes wet, moisture can get trapped between the cover and the vehicle's surface. This trapped moisture may lead to mold, mildew, or even rust over time.
Paint Abrasion
Covers made from rough materials or those that don’t fit properly can rub against the paintwork, causing scratches or gradual wear. Over time, this abrasion may damage the clear coat and reach the paint—or even the metal underneath.
Removal & Storage Hassle
Frequent drivers may find it inconvenient to constantly remove and reapply the cover. Storing the cover properly when not in use adds another step to the routine.
Risk of Blowing Off
In windy conditions, a loosely-fitted or unsecured cover may blow off, exposing the car and potentially causing the cover to flap against the surface—leading to scratches or tearing.
Incorrect Sizing
A poorly sized cover won’t offer effective protection. A cover that’s too small leaves parts of the car exposed, while one that’s too large can lead to shifting, flapping, and premature wear due to excessive fabric movement.
Tehu Car Covers

The interior of Tehu covers is lined with soft fleece, protecting your car’s clear coat from scratches and abrasion. This minimizes wear over time, even with frequent removal and reinstallation.
