Need help to identify what is the best Brand and/or Type of Car Cover for my '71 914.
She currently resides in my driveway in Northern Calif.....can't use the garage because the boat takes up too much room....lol What's the best car cover to buy these days - made for the 914 that 'breathes', yet is water/dew repellant, and won't leave all that dusty gunk behind on the paint? Thanks for any good suggestions. Ken Here she is for grins  |

My 914 sat in the driveway for about 12 years when not racing and I used a pair of covers. The inner one was expensive and was "breathable" in that it kept rain out but allowed moisture to evaporate from inside. Since the CA smog and sun will destroy a cover in 3 to 3 years I used a cheap cover over that to absorb the sun's rays and UV stuff. It lasted a maximum of 3 years and I would replace it at a lot lower price than the good one which lasted the whole time.
