Weber 7553 Genesis Series Cover

The other reviewers are right - this is a really nice, well-made cover with a fatal flaw. The vents do not keep the rain out. No wonder all of our neighbors keep their grills in their garages.

This cover has two side vents, thus NOT protecting the grill from rain. So this is not a cover!! I had the same reaction as many of the other buyers: why in the world would I want a cover with holes in it? I am returning this non-cover ASAP.

Bought this cover to protect my Weber Genesis E-310 grill from the elements. It appears to be well designed and made from heavy-duty materials. Shipping was prompt. I have no regrets about having ordered this product.

Bought the standard weber cover for my new stainless steel S-310 gas grill.
Was disappointed to see large puddles on each wing shelf upon removing cover. Weber advised me the vents in the cover were intentionally designed to let air in to prevent mold on cover and let moisture out.
The fact that they let large amounts of water settle on each shelf, as well as around each gas knob can not be a good thing over time.
So now I am looking for a cover for my cover.

Just adding my discontented voice to others. The manufacturer's product photo shows vents on the lower vertical surface but the actual product in the box has vents on the upper angled surface. See the customer photo: that's what you get.

Aside from the misleading product photo, Weber may argue that the design lets out moisture, but it sure seems counter-intuitive. What about snow? What about in a humid region? Is this the best they can do?

This cover might be good for dry regions, but there's got to be a better design to prevent rust.
