Default Good Indoor Car Cover for Cabriolet

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good indoor car cover for my 996 Cab.

The covers I have seen look like they will shed and stick on the rag top material.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

You need something that is slick,--the worst material is something like flannel, as it will shed lint all over the top of the cab. Although flannel is nice for the paint it will drive you nuts trying to get the lint off the top.

Covercraft Dustop. No lint, good padding, not too heavy.

This is what I have used for 3 years..love it...no lint at all. It is not an outdoor cover, but who leaves their cab outdoors?

I have weathershield. It's an outdoor cover that is thin and protects water/moisture well. I used an OEM silverguard too and lint wasn't too bad on the softtop as long as it's not flopping around.

The OEM cover is perfect for a cab. The material is a soft synthetic meterial and there are felt linnings on the fenders, bumper, and rear deck...does not shed on cab top.

jsaindc,

What OEM cover are you recommending?
-The Silverguard
OR
-The Weathershield

I have heard stories about the flannal and fleece linned covers getting all over the softtop.
This will be for indoor use only.

Thanks
