car covers

[Papa Smurf]

Hi Guys
Can anyone suggest a good weather proof cover that dosn't rip or fall apart after a winter - sick of buying the Chinese crap

I don't know the brand name but we use the silver ones on three of our cars and have had no problems. Water proof with breathers and a soft lining. They come in a red, black and white box with a carry handle. Made in Taiwan of course.

This is one on the black car, peeled back.

Ta stinky - can you remember where you got them from or approx how much

My wife tells me she got ours from KMart at about $169

This mob has them too - http://www.eurotech.com.au/home.asp

but they should be available at most auto parts stores.

I got one for christmas when I was 17, then they ranged between $90-100.
now there is heaps of cheap stuff around but I guess it doesnt hold out as well.
mine has one small tear were it got cought on something while pulling it off in a hurry, other than that it seems fine, its a soft cloth material, it doesnt keep much rain out but cuts out sun and dust and has been on a car for 1 year in a garage without leaving a trace on the paint.
