Car covers for an NA

deags · Postby **deags** » Sat Aug 19, 2017 10:33 pm

Hi,

I am having to store my NA outside for a few months without it being dríven. Seems suitable to get a cover for it - does anyone have suggestions? Worth tracking down and buying one that is car-specific?

I have an NA6 with the fixed long antenna - Can anyone suggest somewhere in AU to buy a stubby antenna if not an accomodating car cover? Alternaively I could just detatch the antenna.

Thanks

Try Covercraft - about to order one from them myself. Don't think they cater for your aerial however so your idea to remove it may be necessary.

A few on here have also purchased from Historic Car Covers of Narre Warren, Vic.

The aerial should screw off
Plenty of stubby ones on e bay from $12 - $25
I bought a good all weather cover from auto barn for $130

Half covers are really good, covers everything that may leak and way easier get on and off.

Covercraft will cost ~$300 - my main concern is they have a 3-4 week wait and I won't be here in about 3 weeks. I can park the car though and get someone to fit the cover.

I will contact Historic Car Covers - if anyone has one from there can they comment on cost? It's for outdoor use where as I think most enthusiasts have a garage or cover of some sort.

Covercraft will cost me about $330 which if they are the best and it will last forever (4yr warranty) - and I expect it would fit an NB too - probably not the worst investment.

Another option is MX5Parts (UK). I've purchased a lot from them over the years and received most items fast - usually 7-10 days.

I have an Historic Car cover one made for an NB- lots of these custom covers around for old cars etc i.e. they are made to measure- my car always has it on when not being used- my cover is 8 years old. Its made from Tyvac . It works very well in a garage i.e. keeping dust out. You can have ties attached where you like to that it can be tied under the vehicle etc. You would need to check if they are still in business- these are custom made and with a good reputation. I would seek advice if its suitable for outdoor. People using outdoor covers always recommend ensuring that covers do not rub on vehicles.
