Question for those who own a E30 converible and don't have a garage/storage place to keep your car's away the winter weather

what tips can you give for outside winter storage?

ive got a car cover over it but should i treat the hood/roof with something to help save the frost from harming it?

ALWAYS cover the rear screen if there if there likelihood of a frost...there should be a cover with the car

Hi Ian
If you are storing the cab over the winter, just cover it with a big tarpaulin well weighed down in case of high winds. :wink:

i bought a outside cover for it at the weekend, just bought one from "motorworld" £24.99 this one: http://www.motor-world.co.uk/show_prod.php?prod_id=5601
i was quite surprised with the quality for the price and it's a very good fit for the E30
