Ondoy or Any Massive Flood Protection For Your Car

Mahal. 9k? Oh well, pwede yan sa mga taong parating inaabot ng tubig. Cheaper than having your car repaired.

Pano pag inabot yung trailer?

Just to eliminate any failure/leakage through zipper.
I still prefer the type that you curl/fold the end into a bun (knot) and fasten with rope.
Similar to this:

The local version is well designed and thought of.

It looks promising but I have big concerns on its reliability. Zipppers aren't air tight and aren't very reliable seals. Zippers can come undone. Even if you fold the edges upwards, rain water from the top could still leak into the bag via the zippers. Over time the water seeping through will build up and compromise the safety of the vehicle. For weather like ours where it rains constantly this is a big issue. If you park in a covered garage then it will be okay but a lot of people park outside exposed to the rain, that is where the problem lies.

The KISS principle("Keep It Simple Stupid") should be used when designing something to protect an expensive investment like a car. The zipper bag is too complex of a design which has more areas that could fail especially in an open air parking environment.

I would still prefer a single piece heavy duty plastic bag that you just have to seal one end and anchor to a solid structure. In that kind of design all they have to focus on designing is the seal to be used on one end of the bag to ensure air doesn't escape to keep the car safe inside, and the type of durable plastic to be used.
