Post

Back to the top
Can someone recommend a good quality cover for my CAB im collecting tomorrow. We havent got a garage or car port so during the winter months it will need protecting from the elements.
Also any advise would be most welcome re covering a car for the winter

I just use a cover I picked up from Halfrauds, it works perfectly fine and compared to some is quite cheap. I know there is the saying you get what you pay for but it all depends on how fussy you are and how big your pockets are. I'm on the second cover now as the strapping on first ripped during last winters storms, the second cover is a better quality (three straps compared to two on the original plus stronger elasticated front and rear to tuck right under the bumpers) but not as good a fit. If you do go down the Halfrauds route check the fitting before you drive away as they are vastly different from the first to second cover.
Hope this helps.

Yes its very bad, however carcoons do breath, they have to big fans to move the air around. and a battery charger built in

I bought a Moltex.
You get what you pay for and I'd say this is close to perfect.
How much is your paint worth?

Look the links in this post and then shop around!  :thumbs:
