    Are car top covers the answer ?

    Thinking of getting a car top cover to help keep my coupe dry. Found a couple of suppliers, and wondered if anyone could advise on these:

    beware unless is specifically made for the car and has a soft lining they rub like f*** in the wind and make a right mess of your paint.

      Have to agree with error, my car looked liked someone had gone over it with a Belt Sander due to the previous owner covering it up with god knows what

      All better now though

        fixing the leaks is better otherwise the mousture is trapped in more by the cover

          Thanks for the comments guys.

          I could clear the garage out and put the car in it, or just fix the leaks !

                The problem needs solving, though.

                We've already had koi carp thieves using Google Earth to find carp breeders - it won't be long before software is available commercially to scan for certain car models.

                (There's an application available for the Google Phone that captures a business card shown to the camera and enters the details in the contacts database.)
