I just received my warranty replacement 7152 cover from Weber for my Performer. My original cover was a 7455. The way they kept describing the 7152 to me was it was going to be a heavy, waterproof canvas. This thing is really thin and I think the only reason they added velcro attachments is to keep it from blowing away. It isn't canvas. A request to Cove Point Covers initially came back positive - Sunbrella material, 10-year warranty, buckles to keep it in place. All was good until we got to the price - $560 for covers for my OTG and Performer. Nope.
Any alternatives, or is the best option to just buy a new Weber cover every year?
Anyone recommend against using a cover? For those that use a cover, do you keep the vents closed or open?
