I've just bought a "soft top" cover from UK Custom Covers @ £69.95. I haven't used it yet, but I'm going to York on Saturday for the week and will try it out then.

It secures to the car via the doors and boot lid. I bought it because when we go away the car is invariably left outside and sometimes I get a minor leak from the door pillar.

We have a half cover (roof only) as I am always wary of the cover rubbing the paint in the wind. The car has to be clean when the cover goes on or the risk increases.

half cover stops the roof going green through the winter if it is outside.

had a car cover for years, on my 3rd. they work well, mine have been breathable. last about 3 years ish. Last one has been clawed abit by cats :rage: which will probably shorten it life span. cant seem to stop them

It's personal choice really. At home my car is garaged but when we're away it's outside. If you have a slight leak like my car has then it's a benefit for sure.

Full car cover for me mate, worth its weight in gold as my Zed is in a dusty garage. About £80 ish if memory serves. 2 minute job so no dramas.
