Default Car Cover

www.cover-zone.com

As I have now had my summer vacation for this year, it's time to start thinking about the winter

As I am now intending to keep the S, and it won't fit in the garage with all the junk in there , I guess I should snuggle it up all nice & warm & dry on the drive this winter. (I know, I should have done it from when I bought the car, but better late than never )

A quick trawl using "The Google" turned up www.cover-zone.com.

They seem to have a full winter outdoor cover for the S.

Anyone used them? Any alternatives? I believe the Honda supplied one is fairly light weight, and not suitable in wind etc.?

Outdoor covers are always problematic in wind, my one has "do not use in high wind" written in the instructions. I'd recomend a garrage myself

I think the voyager ones sell on ebay for about 50-60quid, I'm considering one but wonder if it's really worth it just to protect against the odd frost and elements. If it's windy and there's any dust/grit on the car surely it's just gonna scratch it?

Bought a Noah fabric cover from Covercraft. Tailor made (even has a little willie warmer bit for the aeriel and two pockets for the mirrors.
I use it all the time to keep the weather and cats off my car when not in use.
Wind not a problem, comes with security lock and cable which passes under the car and holds down the cover in very windy conditions. Leaves no marks and is an excellent if expensive (

Covercraft covers are the best

I have a Weathersheild which is excellent.

However, it doesn't matter one joy how good the cover is, you cannot use it on a dirty car and expect it to not damage the paint surface as it moves about in the wind.

I have the voyager, its okay but is a bit of a feather weight. I use it more for keeping dust off the car in the garage.

For outdoors I reckon you need to go Saltys route and swallow
