Waterproof Cover
Hi...
Can anyone help me with funding a high top cover which is waterproof... Not water resistant? Really want to maximise the work we've recently completed and stop rust getting hold...
Thanks,
Oz

Buy your own cover Carnauba wax is better than any cover IMO.

Re: Waterproof Cover
I got a syncro project that probably needs a few thousand thrown at it, I can give you guys my paypal!
But seriously as Rob says, a good wax would be better than a cover.

Re: Waterproof Cover
Thanks all.
It might be a cover for the tone being until I've worked out which of the window seals is not being a seal...

Re: Waterproof Cover
Go outdoors sell a good high top cover.
Has 3 adjustable straps underneath and 3 at the back to make a snug fit.
I bought this as my van was also leaking, helped to dry it out.
E D I T this is breathable and waterproof, my roofrack gets like a paddling pool if not secured properly.
Have had to cover corners of van as when its windy it rubs

Re: Waterproof Cover
Also depends on what paint finish you have, I had a car which had to be left idle outside whilst I was away, so I put a cover over it for several weeks, came back took it off and there was all these blotches over the car, I spent hours if not days T cutting and then polishing to bring it back, it was a cheap cover so that may have had something to do with it.

Re: Waterproof Cover
Well if it isn't a breathable cover its gonna retain moisture which is probably just as bad if not worse.
