The Lomax cover seems to do a good job keeping water out.
My Lomax doesn't leak. I mean, everything has the chance to leak a little, but I haven't noticed any noticeable leak after bringing it through the wash.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the water resistance of the manual cover, especially in snow. Have driven in 2 pretty wet snowstorms over the past week with zero water intrusion. Went to the touchless car wash today to get off the mag chloride and absolutely soaked it - photos below are of the water penetration, pretty minimal overall. This is going to work great at least for me. So happy to have it.

Wow. This is WAY more water than the lomax cover. I haven't noticed any major/minor leaks from the lomax cover. It appears there are many leaks on the manual.

This is after going through a car wash with lots of standing water. I have been driving in snow and water consistently all winter and really have not noticed any major water intrusion but it’s definitely not waterproof.
