I will be busy asking for info so would appreciate all the help given as has been supplied before my sabatical.
Need info on really good outdoor cover at present.

KENHIND

I bought the Hamilton Classics breathable outdoor cover for mine. Seems good so far.
Can anyone help me think of a quick and easy way to pass the straps underneath the car so that they can be clipped up on the other side?

On a previous cover I kept an old padlock attached to give it some weight so that I could 'throw' it under the car . Seemed to work OK. Any kind of metal weight attached would be OKCan anyone help me think of a quick and easy way to pass the straps underneath the car so that they can be clipped up on the other side?
Other way would be to lay out on drive and drive car over it/ them.
Most dyas I dont use the straps unless its going to very windy
Im just about to invest in a decent outdoor cover for mine as its going to have to live outside this winter until i finish my very very overdue kit car..!
I was looking at the storm force too.
Would it be a good idea to leave the windows open while under the cover in order for the interior to breathe?

I have a stormforce cover but I am wondering if they are more of a risk to the paintwork than acceptable. The advice is not to put it on whilst the car is warm, wet or dirty. Quite often my Chim is all of those. After a rain shower or heavy morning dew the cover itself stays wet on the outside for a long while unless you have the time to hang it up fully open somewhere. Just folding it up neatly will ensure it stays wet for days.
I actively have to keep an eye out for the window of opportunity when the car is clean, dry and cool..... then dump a sopping wet cover back on it!
