I have a brand new, never been used outdoor breathable cover from a specialist manufacturer.
It's not branded, but is meant to be totally suitable for outdoor use. Bought it for a trip to north yorkshire in the Noble to stay with the in-laws but never made it and it's very unlikely i'll bother taking the Noble that far north.
Can't remember how much it cost but make me an offer if you fancy it? Will look up which company made it asap.
Cheers

Why's that?? I covered mine 2 years ago and it performed fine.
Left uncovered last winter and got clam bubbles.......
Go figure.
Just my experience.
Ive been told by various people in the car paint trade not to cover fibre glass cars!Left uncovered last winter and got clam bubbles.......

I suspect your bubbles are something to do with the period that your car was covered up for.
You dont get micro blisters from your car sitting outside being aerated.
IMHO!
If you lift your clam on most nobles i bet you will see micro blisters where the paint is in contact with the neoprene. Also if you remove your door card and remove the bin liner you will see micro blisters!

I cover mine indoors with a very soft Noble cover. Is that ok?I suspect your bubbles are something to do with the period that your car was covered up for.

Although, I forgot to give it to Matt so it's currently getting covered in dust at Jetstream!! sleepless nights.....
That's my point. Last year my car WAS left uncovered over winter, sat in my drive and that's when blistering occurred.
The previous year she was wrapped up under cover - same sorts of weather conditions and there was no damage caused.
So on this basis,I can personally conclude that the car cover was a good idea. I just wished I had covered it up last winter.

I left mine under a waterproof car cover for just over a month when I first got it at the start of last winter. Within that time it bubbled up REALLY badly all over. Only option is a complete respray. I understand that not every car will do this but I won't use another car cover on fibre glass again soon.
Problem with covers is you cannot cover the car if its raining, you can only cover it after you wash it.
Problem with this idea is even if you strap it down with cover cables etc the wind can still whip up the dust under the cover & then grind away at your paint work as you cannot seal the lower edge near the ground !
I had folding garage for a while, worked well & as it does not touch the car at all you can put the car in there when raining etc, there are large vents at the top & bottom that helps dry it & no condensation.

Sorry Lawrence i couldn't tell you for sure as i'm no expert - i'm a wood butcher. But IMO i think putting a dry car under a soft indoor cover isn't going to lead to problems. Although i was given a noble indoor cover with the car and never used it in five years just incase.Although, I forgot to give it to Matt so it's currently getting covered in dust at Jetstream!! sleepless nights.....
