Car Cover Recommendations

Post by simonah91 »

Hi All,

I've been looking at getting a car cover to give the Rx more protection and was looking for some recommendations.

I've looked at the generic eBay ones but don't know if they are any good, has anyone tried any?

Ive also found these 2 and wondered if anyone had tried either

I would never use a cover, too much risk of scratching :(

Use one off ebay. It's pretty good. Soft cotton on the inside. Ties on all wheels plus an under car tie/clip. High winds have picked it off the front but it stuck on elsewhere. And I get condensation with it being winter so I wouldn't be happy leaving it on more than a week without risking mold build up.
