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.

Having used them in the past (caveat: non-Porsche) and not skimped on cheapies (all >$200) I wouldn't bother. They blow off when windy, can buff the paint where they rub against tight corners, are a pain to put on and off. Also the waterproof ones tend to get moisture condensing in between the cover and the paint which can affect the paint, and the breathable ones eventually lose their waterproofing and become sodden. Unless you're mainly after sun protection and can live with a very lightweight one that lets water through but also dries out quickly I haven't found them worth it.

Check out Chief Car Covers. I use the Porsche internal one and have the Porsche external one in case I need that but the Chiefs are great. A Red Mk2 Rs2000 Avon I did have one 4 door shame it did not come with the UK pinto motor here.

Some of the fabrics have a reflect coating for the sun. On very hot days the heat build up can irreparably burn the car's paint clear coat. These covers should have data on their effective temp range
