Hey Guys,

Does anyone know of a manufacturer for nice fittng car covers for a 1200? i am looking to protect my sedan from the weather, even though i have no more garage space.

See ya,

I bought a cheap one size "small" from my local K-Mart for AUS$50. It fits nicely. It's not entirely waterproof, and I keep it in the garage. The only problem is that it's designed for left hand drive vehicles, as it has a door access zipper on the passenger side. You being in the US, this wouldn't be a problem for you

Any cover is better than no cover. If you expect a lot of rain, get a second cheap waterproof one to put over the top.

You can get more waterporoof ones for AU$80 or $90 but a $50 one and a $20 one does just as good, and the cheap one can be sacrificial, you can let the Sun damage that one. And get another cheap one in 12 months time.

The biggest killer of car covers is the Sun. I had an expensive one on my original datto and after 18 months it was shredded due to Sun damage.

but dont leave thoose covers on for long periods (months), ive heard they hold in moisture too well and then accelerate the rust obviously

someone gave me a 1600 once which had been under one for a year, when we took the cover off they were like "oh i dont remember it being that rusty" (old people, quite funny really), and it made a good home for spiders, that bloody car had redbacks all through it.

Yeah, why is it that redbacks love cars so very very much?

My spares purple 1200 had about 8 famiiles of the bastards living in there. One had a body the size of your thumb nail. Biggest one I have ever seen...
