I used one a few years back, to good effect, but I'd only put a cover on a clean car.

If it is used each day, gets up to temperature and has air flowing through it, then it may be ok.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Evening everyone Sadly my car (993 C4) doesn't have a decent shelter this coming winter. Can anyone suggest a good quality cover that actually works, keeps the rain out but breathes and protects please? Or are they more trouble than their worth??? Thanks in advance all

POST 2Original post

What you said at the end. Dont get one, they are pointless. Your car will be just fine outside. Keep it coated with 2 layers of fl1000p, bodywork and alloys.

POST 3Original post

Hmmm. If I had a nice 993 I don't think I'd want to leave it out all winter. If it is used each day, gets up to temperature and has air flowing through it, then it may be ok. But, if it's just sitting there, I'd investigate some anti-corrosion treatment and a multi-layer breathable fitted cover (try Covercraft). I used one a few years back, to good effect, but I'd only put a cover on a clean car.

POST 4Original post

If it's a daily / regular driver don't. Now matter how good the cover you will do more harm than good. If it's not driven much over winter find somewhere undercover to store it. Last resort is a cover but even a clean car and good cover = abrasion rubs
