Default where to get car cover?

I'm looking for a car cover for my car. It needs to have some sort of tie-downs on the sides to hold it on my car, as it gets pretty windy sometimes and my old car cover keeps flying off and it's pissing me off. Also needs to be breathable. Thanks

I have one from Porsche and have been very pleased with it. But then again, mine is more of a dust cover for the garage than anything else. Performance Products has several on their web site (not that I like PP or anything mind you - just know that they carry them).

Try ajusa.com if you are interested in a car cover. I just ordered the noah cover for my BMW and will order one for my 951 in the near future. Ajusa is a sponsor for rennlist, so I ended up ordering from them and because they had a good price after internet shopping/comparing.

It came down to the weathertech and the noah. My car will be stored outside so I went with the noah because it has better ding protection, hail protection, and is cheaper. The weathertech has better breathing than the noah and is thinner, more water repellent.

There is also a Wolf brand cover that I am not familiar with. On average, they seemed to be much cheaper. I don't know if this has anything to do with the level of quality or not. If somebody has one, please let me know what you think about it. If it is good then i may consider it for my 951.

Not to sound like some cheap skate but Costco sell really good covers for around 50 dollars but they are not fitted and can run a little big ...

do those have some sort of way to tie them down on the sides so the wind doesnt blow them off? (the noah or weathertech)

i have a $50 or something like that one from wal-mart that's not fitted, universal fit... but it keeps flying off that's why i'm looking for a new one

atinybug,

Yes there are two grommets (one on each side) which allow you to lock it down. You can always add more grommets on each end of the car if you want to secure it even more. Noah and weathertech have a similar design.

I have wolf cover on my 944 NA daily driver.

I have had it for a few years and it works ok. I use at work to try to protect the paint and interior from the sun and keep the car a bit cooler. It does get dusty still and need to wash the cover again.

For the money I thing it works just fine. Funny thing is that I don't even use the tie downs for it. The front end shape of the 944 allows a quite wrap under the nose and it stays on even a stiff breeze. If I loose it I don't care too much since it was cheap. It folds up small enough to fit in one of the back seats.

Time to put on and take off are 2-3 minutes.
