Any opnions for someone here in Connecticut?
Thanks.....
HW: I believe you should not get a "waterproof" cover as they do not have the breathability you need. I have a Covercraft Noah, and contrary to it's name it is less than waterproof. That said, it is touted as a water-resistant cover. I use it indoors 99.9% of the time, it's nice and thick, and prevents
dings in the garage. The best thing I can suggest would be to buy a breathable cover, and get one of those plastic temp garages, this is how I stored my 1973 show Vette for the last 18 years, and it worked well.
They are made/distributed in Conn. that's where I bought mine.
If you don't have the space for one of those, then maybe set up a tarp over the covered car (not touching) to keep the bulk of the elements from getting on it. It really depends on the space you have to play with to setup
something like this.
PS: I didn't see any CoverCraft OR CoverKing cover that said it was water-proof anyway.
PSS: I'm afraid your doors will have much rust on them if you leave your baby out all winter with just a water-resistant cover on it.
