As somebody already said you don't want a cover that can't breath otherwise the
car will stay wet.
In my experience the best material is one called sunbreja This has a 5 year
guarantee. I have had one for 6 years and used it everyday when the car is
parked all day in the sun at work or on the drive at home. For the first 4
years it didn't leak water when it was raining and now it just lets a little
through .The only thing that fails is the stitching . After 4 years I sent it
back under warrantee and they re-stitched it and also replaced some panels that
had worn... all for $13 including postage. It's a thick cover so it doesn't
roll up small. I've just bought a new cover made from Weathershield for
another of my cars which is much thinner and therefore rolls up small. I'm
thinking I should have stuck with Sunbeja but the sales man said I would like
it.... we'll see
Like everything else don't buy a cheap cover. For a good cover you are looking
at $300.

Hello Listers:
I hope everyone had the chance to enjoy their cars today. The weather here in
the Philadelphia PA area has been very nice today.
I am currently contemplating purchasing another car cover for my Spitfire,
since the car has to "live" outside. I've had several covers for this car, and
all have fallen apart within 1 year. Has anyone has better success with a car
cover? If so, what brand did you purchase?
Thanks for your help........
