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  |

I am not a fan of car covers when left outside in the wind.
The covers can and do scratch the paint as the wind ruffles them around... I use one inside to keep the dust off, but I have no wind. If it was me, I would use the perry keihl umbrella cover just over the roof section and that solves the real water problem yet does not risk damage to the paint. Gorgeous car BTW. Rich |
