The Form Fit Cover from covercraft is identical to what Griots sells and identical to what I bought. Griots typically buys and resells the high end products they offer and they rebadge. The reason I buy from Griots is that they offer a lifetime warranty on anything they sell and as long as you don't abuse it they make good on this warranty without questions. I'm on my third canister vacuum from them and my second random orbital buffer.

Take a look at the link above for the picture of the Griots cover.

You will need to remove the antenna before using the cover, this applies to any cover on the market. The form fit does have mirror covers which allow the mirror to stay open or fold in. It also makes it easier to install the cover.

Covercraft may be a good option and they are the company in OK that will be making the ex Colgan service covers.
Both of the Porsche covers are for external use - Triguard and Silverguard +

I'm trying to visualize how using a car cover inside the car would help. [???] Good to know they do actually work on the external surfaces.

So what is the cover that DR shows, the one with the PCNA number for $110? One of tthe ones you mention?

I'm pretty sure that the PNA 505 928 cover is 000 043 202 03, but have no idea whether that # gets you a Triguard or a Silverguard+ cover.

Covercraft has many different materials. Is yours a Form-fit version ?
Any pictures ? What about the antenna ?

Thanks.
The fabric is Noah and grey in color. Mine looks just like this from the 928 Specialist web site ...



and one of these..



For indoor use, any fits-all will do the job. You need custom fit to keep it from easily falling off or dragging on the ground and getting dirty. Also the mirror pockets help with keeping it in place; some custom are made without the mirror pockets.

You need to unscrew the roof antenna before installing the cover.

Just quoting the Porsche speak - external = outside 8>)

Triguard is PNA505928
Silverguard + is PNA508928S4

Glad you clarified that for me, Roger. Much clearer why you had to differentiate....

I was trying to envision what an internal cover would look like....big diaphram inserted from the rear hatch?
