Based on some negative reviews, I was hesitant to order. But reviews on other sites were more positive, so I decided to take a chance and I’m glad I did. Yes, this cover is lighter in weight than the one it replaces, but I consider that a plus. The old one was heavy and rather cumbersome. This one is as well made as the one it replaces, which lasted a number of years. It certainly does the job. Velcro tabs keep it in place even on windy days. Rather expensive but worth it.
