Storm Force Covers

[Mitchen]

Just about to buy one of these.. not going to put the motor through another winter in the elements.

Any one had experience with them?

yeah a garage will be better

[Mitchen]

Yeah a garage costs a few thousand pounds.. a stormforce cover is a couple of hundred.

Not sure as can't remember exact model, but I used the middle option cover (price wise) from that company.

Wasn't too bad, and it fitted well. I have also used halfords covers which are good but don't fit as well.


I have always found moisture build up under the covers however. No it's not as good as a garage but it's better than being outside and having water gather in all your e30s crusty bits!

I think Kos has an indoor version

For anyone who cares.. this car cover is brilliant.

It's been out getting battered by storms and torrential rain the past week or so.. and yet under the cover it's as dry as can be.. no condensation, dampness, nothing. The paintwork doesn't have a drop of rain on it.

Which version did you go for - storm force or monsoon?

Which version did you go for - storm force or monsoon?

I went for storm force.. was concerned that the monsoon didn't score well for ventilation.. breathability was my prime concern for a car cover.. last thing you want is the moisture not being able to escape and then settling under your headlining.

Whats the inside like? This is one thing that annoys me about cover adverts, they never show you a sample of the inside, I want something soft that won't scratch my paint if there is any dust/muck on it

[Mitchen]

It's a weird sponge like material.. it is soft and won't scratch your car.. but you need to be putting it on a clean car. No matter how soft the inside of the cover is, if you have dirt particles on the car, it's going to be abrasive.

The only issue for me is going to be when I take it off to give the car a detail or work on it.. it's a big cover, so where do you put it without it picking up some dirt, dust etc. that's the only draw back for me.. but beats spending thousands building a garage.

Put it in the boot mate

Did you get the car cover locking kit with it?

[Mitchen]

Yeah good idea Jim.. Although I'd have to wash the cover down beforehand.

Pete I didnt.. I live on a decent private road mostly populated by old folk.

Apologies if this is a bit off topic but does anyone have any experience of an outdoor carcoon? Have two classics now and a one car garage but want them both to be kept bone dry during the winter.

I have this cover and find it spot on. It came with a bag to store it. Bit of a faff to get in but not as bad as getting the average tent back into the bag. It then easily fits in the boot.
