992 Car Covers

[Popolou]

Sadly, a number of the older threads have non-working links to manufacturers/retailers of tailored car covers of decent quality and which won't cost the earth. Are there any personal recommendations or advice where to look? Last time i looked into this was well over a decade ago and it seems everyone and their dog are in this market now. Cheers.

Are you looking for an outside cover? And if so does it really have to be tailored? My last (£400+) tailored cover didn’t even make it to the 3 year mark before it started letting in water and neither did the previous 2 (both similar prices but different manufacturers/materials). I’ve now given up on expensive tailored covers and reconciled myself to getting cheap ones and changing them often.

I ended up with one of these (you need a large for a 992) and it frankly does the job as well if not better than any of the more expensive covers I’ve had. And it’s still going strong after 2 years.

Ideally, yeah. Had a few outdoor covers in the past which tended to survive quite a while (10+ years) before getting tatty and eventually crumbling but that is to be expected. Got a fox in the area that has taken a fancy to my convertible, paw marks on both sides as she comes and goes.

I cannot believe i have to look towards the States for something of decent quality at a reasonable price.

Have had similar problems with foxes. Even had one crap on my roof once. Cats are even worse: the claws can do proper damage to a convertible roof.

By the way I'd recommend avoiding anything advertised as "breathable". In my experience this means "not properly waterproof" which in turn means that rainwater will get in, dry and then leave a residue between the cover and the car. That's a recipe for paint damage.
