Engineered for Any Condition.
From Arizona sun to Colorado hail — every DaShield cover is pressure-tested before it ships.
Why this vehicle needs the right cover
The Audi A5 is produced in three body styles — coupe, sportback, and cabriolet — across two generations: B8 (2008–2016) at 180.6 inches overall, and B9 (2017–present) at 183.9 inches overall.
All three body styles share the same overall length within each generation, but each carries a different roofline geometry that determines whether a cover fits correctly at the rear of the car.
The sportback's 5-door fastback slope requires a longer rear taper than the coupe's truncated Kamm-tail profile. The cabriolet's folded soft-top stack adds rear deck height when the top is retracted, requiring a separate rear dome mapping.
A 3.3-inch length increase from B8 to B9 means the wrong generation's pattern produces excess hem material that contacts the tail panel under wind movement.
On Mythos Black Metallic — the deepest black in the A5 palette — any micro-abrasion from cover contact is visible as a scuff line before the damage is correctable.
DaShield patterns A5 covers by generation and then by body style, with separate patterns for coupe, sportback, and cabriolet within each generation. Select your generation and body style at the vehicle selector to receive the cover mapped to your specific car.
Audi A5 cover priorities
Engineered for the Audi A5
For the Audi A5 specifically, three protection priorities define the correct cover specification.
First, body-style and generation fit precision across six distinct profiles. The B8 coupe, B8 sportback, B8 cabriolet, B9 coupe, B9 sportback, and B9 cabriolet each carry a different roofline geometry despite sharing overall length within each generation. The sportback's fastback roofline extends the rear slope past the C-pillar to the tail, requiring a deeper rear taper than the coupe. The cabriolet's retracted soft-top stack adds rear deck height that a coupe-pattern cover does not clear correctly. The 3.3-inch B8-to-B9 growth produces a rear hem gap on the smaller body when the larger generation's cover is fitted. DaShield patterns each of the six profiles separately — body style and generation are dimensional requirements, not selection preferences. The S5 uses the same body dimensions as the A5 per generation; select by generation and body style using the same logic.
Second, abrasion protection calibrated to the A5's most demanding finish. Mythos Black Metallic is the highest-contrast finish in the A5 lineup — particulate trapped between a moving cover and this depth of black produces visible micro-abrasion at the first detailing inspection, before the damage reaches the correction threshold. DaShield's soft inner lining eliminates the contact-force component; generation-specific and body-style-specific fit eliminates the excess hem material that produces wind-driven cover movement. Paint correction runs $500–$1,200 per panel; panel respray when correction thresholds are exceeded runs $2,000–$4,000; full exterior work runs $6,000–$14,000.
Third, cover selection matched to the primary parking environment. For garage-primary A5 owners, the SoftTec Satin is the correct specification: stretch-fit, soft inner surface, zero weather weight, machine washable. For A5 owners who also park outdoors — the most common use profile — the Vanguard UHD at $199 addresses weather, UV, bird drop, and contact protection in a single 5-layer woven cover with a soft inner lining. Care for woven covers is wipe-down only; machine washing degrades the breathable laminate.
