:?: Hi, Im a new member - having just bought my dream 1981 air cooled T3. Had couple of Beetles pre kids, but been without an air cooled for too long! I would appreciate any advice on buying a decent winter cover for her. I used to have a really heavy duty 'fleece' lined cover (was like a garage in a bag), but cant seem to find anything similar. Everything seems to be 'light weight breathable'. Any comments appreciated please? :?:

Have a read of this, though not a heavy fleece lined one you refer to, I bought a lightweight one and wish I hadnt bothered. Pricey lesson.

Great info, and much appreciated! Might just get a lightweight in case of snow etc, but otherwise it sounds like wax is the way forward!
