Winters here.. car cover or no car cover..

Post Thu Nov 01, 2012 9:08 pm

I have a halfords cover and my cab is bone dry after even heavy rain.I do take it off frequently to check the inside of the car for condensation etc. You should also cover the soft top with a sheet or something as per the instructions in the cover.No problems so far.

i plan on buying the halfords advanced cover for my cabby..is the large a good fit?

what type of sheet would you recommend to place on the soft top?

Large will be too big, medium is fine for an E30.

mine is large and it fits perfectly. I use a cheap soft top cover that just covers the roof.It has 4 straps to hold it down and i got it from a car spares shop for a tenner. I think they recommend this so if its windy the car cover doesnt rub the roof when moving.So far itg good,the best protection short of a nice dry garage.I definatly would check under it at least once a week and i run my car around the block when its dry to blow out any condensation and warm it up.This is only my personal opinion.

how did that happen?

I'm still deciding whether or not to buy one of these covers.

Is the car perfectly dry underneath after lots of heavy rainfall?

Mine is a medium. Its an american Resistanze cover with dupont tyvek middle layer and a flock inner. I can honestly say i have never taken it off and there has been damp or the car has sweated underneath.
