Swear there was a guy here selling one? Or looking to sell one? Cant find the post now. Anyone remember?

Thinking this maybe a cool idea and will stop minor scratching / marring of paint from a full cover...

WHen i go over the paint with my PC will be getting one of these i think... Anyone else use one?

I have one and used to use it quite a bit, especially toward the 3rd yr of my full covercraft weathershields life as that got quite loose in windy conditions. Leven cover does what it says on the tin, but I found it quite stiff to use and it could scratch if not put on carefully.

As regards a full cover, I used the covercraft for over 3 yrs and it generally gave excellent performance and results. As long as I did not put it on an overly dirty car, it was fine and any minor scratches (barely perceptible) soon came out with the semi-annual clay bar and deep polishing/sealing/waxing. Now use a specialised car cover which is excellently fitted (and therefore good in windy weather), but to my mind, less user friendly than the covercraft (more bulky, less easily cleaned, more rigid in build). I would consider a full cover over a part cover personally, esp if parked outside as mine is and has been for near on 5 yrs.

I have a full cover at the moment and this is the 1st coloured car i have had i guess. Its a good fit just when your pulling the cover say over the rear the cover it touches the paint and slides. Can see slight marring / scratching...

Going to get the PC out this week probably and get them taken out however i just dont want to put the cover back on again and have to re do the paint. Thats why im thinking get the Leven Top cover as it seems to just slot over the top and as you say quite stiff.

Whats this specialised cover you use?

Ehasler i await your mail then sir...

Thanks guys smile

Specialised Car covers is the name of the company if memory serves. About £230 if memory serves vs the £360 for the Ccovercraft Weathershield.

Wouldnt recommend a full cover myself due to, as you say, the risk of minor scratches. No matter how careful you are, in windy conditions they do occur.

Paint on a TVR is soft anyway, my cerby scratched with a full cover.

There was a storm cover for sale on the PH classifieds but i think its gone. Leven do one, or try eBay?
