I curently have a car cover (not sure which make) that is supposed to fit a griffith, it has a belt that goes under the car to keep it in place and it fits reasonably snugly over the car...but the wind still blows it off. I obviously keep the car outside with the cover on during the week and use the car on the weekends. I want one that is breathable and that is a snug fit and stays put in reasonable wind! Any recommendations?
Cheers
Lawrence

I have heard good things abotu Covercraft covers - Google them and you'll get lots of suppliers. They are expensive, but you need to spend a bit to get a good exernal cover.

Beware covers which are advertised as 'showerproof'. Worse than useless. Had one that got wet through then dried onto the bodywork in hot sun and left the weave texture marked all over the car's paint. Took a long time with a rotary buffer to gt it off - nigthtmare!

Big thumbup here for the Hamilton Classic Moltex car cover!!

I had one on my griff which also had to live outdoors.

Very snug fit and had two chunky underbody straps. It never even close to coming off once even in the gale force winds we had here towards the end of last year.

Filly breathable with a fleece inner lining, nice heavy duty cover thats almost totally waterproof!

Price is £101 + delivery for a Griff sized cover and they are doing 25% of postage charges at the moment.
