  • What waterproof cover???

    For the last few years the switched on amongst us have been using waterproof covers when camping etc to keep cars a little dryer and BBQ fat off The paint. I fancy one for other reasons i.e. My drivers window don't close right up and I don't want wet carpets and a car with even more rust. I bought one this morning and to say it was utter rubbish is an understatement. Overpriced tarp springs to mind. Who uses them, where to buy a good one preferably with a soft inner layer, not too expensive as the car don't make it out much and the cover may not see too much action .......

      me too, but having stored my car outside all summer using the cover it seems to have suffered for some reason around the window rubber, i've sent them a mail to see what they can do as the cover is faultless otherwise, around £80-£100, check thes pics out...............

              been trying to think where i got my cover from, used it on my first lakes tour 2007, people thought i was made covering the car up on a nice evening, a non greasey car in the morning was the proof, still have the cover today and use it on all the camping jaunts etc
              a nice inside protects the pent and still waterproof...the place....Halfords lol, was bought just as temporary cover until a good one could be bought

              think grummy has one as well

                            £60 !!

                            No way !

                            I got mine - which looks identical to Taff's one for under £30

                            I've got 3 medium size and 1 extra large - all bought from Maccess - made by Maypole, the mediums fit the Escorts perfectly and the XL is on the 3 door

                            Don't get stung at Halfords - they are WELL overpriced
                            Cheers Rob.
