Cover Em Up ...
« on: January 02, 2014, 08:53:12 pm »
 Well with Winter and the snow on it's way I decided to Cover Dreamy up this Spring Thaw..

 Actually these Covers are pretty slick. They have Zipper access to all doors including the slider so it's eazy as unzipping and enter..  :jump4jo":

Yep it's water proof, kind of like the fabric a nylon rain jacket is made of.. Snow won't collect or stick to it and falls right off, as does rain.

Butt.. I checked and don't think they make them for Bugs.  sad0013=
Next time I speak with BD I'll inquire for you..

  It is the Weathshield HP, one of the highest rated by www.carcovers.com/Quality+Value+Price,   www.autoanything.com/‎ www.amazon.com/automotive‎, www.autopartswarehouse.com/‎, www.carid.com/Covercraft‎, www.realtruck.com , www.drivingcomfort.com/CarCover‎  Car Covers‎ www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com, www.carcoversdirect.com/‎, www.buyautocovers.com/Reviews‎ ............and it goes on and on ....  total reviews from all of these places is about 75,000.   a

  and , it being about 10 years old now, and still holds up  after being through snow sun, ice and rain, high winds - branches falling on it - and washes in washing machines.  All of the stitching is holding up still !
Was waterproof for the first few years, but that chemical has worn away, tried a new waterproofing chemical this year and has been the best I tried so far.  I'm happy with it..

   What I like about it is it is very breathable, which is of concern for the type shown above, which does not look like it would breath at all and would trap a lot of moisture underneath

             #@rofl3    Now why didn't I think of that?... permanently waterproof, and the wind would not be able to blow the cover off the car!
