Just a friendly note .... The famous Perry Kiehl Umbrella Cover is available again. He has 5 left in stock for anyone looking.
If you haven't seen one of the these, they are outstanding quality and FIT.
I have no stake in this, but this is the second one I have bought from him.

Top notch quality product and worth every penny. You can't go wrong with one of Perry's umbrella covers.

I'd like one with a custom clear vinyl "windshield", then I could drive in the rain with my umbrella. Right? RIGHT?!

Good one Dan!
I tried to tow a car with one on, once. Worked fine up to about 30 mph and then it opened up like a parachute.

If you do not have enough garage space these umbrellas are what you need.
I have at least 2 for my 914's and one for the 911.
They keep out all the rain even if you get 14 inches in three days.
They also keep out the sun so the interior stays cool.
Very easy to put on and take off
It takes about a minute.
I like to put it on at night and take it off when I go to work as it keeps all the condensation off the windsheild.

I'm waiting on fabric right now. I have five covers on back order right now. The mill doesn't have any good news. I'm looking at other material options. I've been the only buyer for that fabric for the past five years!

If anyone tells you they can "get it up" to 30, they are lying.

One bungee at each corner to the rims and one to the back bumper and your set...

Good news! Found the same material, the only difference is it's off white, not the gray.
So the covers are now in white only.
Should have material around the first of the week, and then covers to ship around the 18th!

I have 914 Umbrella Covers in stock! As posted before, they are now white in color as that's all I could get.
It looks like the vinyl coated fabric that we've been using for the past 15 years is discontinued. Brad Mayeur got some of the first ones, and they have been outside for much of that time and still keep the car dry. They are kind of stiff and he's replaced the shock cords, but that's a pretty good service life. For your occasional use they'll last a very, very long time, and save your 914 interior from UV and rain.
You can call your order in to my main business (Q Snap) and pay with Visa, MC, or Disc. to 800-867-4712. You can send payment by PayPal to: payment@qsnap.com
Supplies truly are limited. There are nine (9) availble on a first come first served basis.
I've been looking into other materials, but the cost is quite a bit more than the what I've been using, and they aren't WATERPROOF.
I've been on a continual search for more material, but it's not looking good. If you've been thinking about getting one of my covers, DON'T WAIT!

Price is still $125, which includes USPS Priority Mail to conUS addresses. Sorry should have included that in the later post.

I would like one at least. You still have them?
As for materials? What about some of the newer Silicone Nylons or or waterproof breathable fabrics used in some of the high performance outdoor gear? There an many different types out there. They may be a little more expensive though.
