It's not "water proof", and that's because you don't want a water "proof" cover.

You want a breathable debris resistant cover. If the cover was water "proof", any condensation that built up under the cover would never escape, thus accelerating oxidation. Instead you want the cover to be water penetrable, so that the condensation can evaporate. The OEM cover does allow moisture to evaporate, and does a good job of protecting against debris, etc.
