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.

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........
