    I have a 1995 spider and I’m looking for a currently available cover. My aftermarket cover is wearing out & the company is now gone. I’m saving my factory cover. To make this a thread for everyone please give me your experience with one or all of:

    Best indoor cover for a convertible:
    Best outdoor for a convertible:
    And the same for non-spiders.

    Thanks

    I can't say I've had much luck with car covers. Even the expensive tailored outdoor ones seem to leak at the seams and there is no way of stopping dust and rain blowing under the cover into the engine bay because many covers wrap around the body only, leaving the underside of the car exposed. I would recommend a multi-layered one though, to provide some "ding" protection. As with all outdoor covers covers, the car and the cover has to be scrupulously clean to prevent scratching.

    For indoor, I use a very cheap oversized cover. I have somewhat draughty garage and there is still some dust blowing about. My oversized cover goes all the way to the floor.

    +1 Coverking Stretch Satin for indoors. Coverking Autobody Armor for outdoors.

    We used to sell Coverking at Ricambi America -- and the product quality was outstanding. We stopping carrying the product only because of production leadtimes, but the quality never waivered.

    Saw it on the following page and fit looks good for what I assume is a generic pattern. But it's pictured on an open top spider and I'd like to know how it fits with a hard top.

    I use the Tan Flannel car cover for my cars. It's made by Covercraft and the inside is lined with flannel so its super soft. The only complaint is that they must have used the factory cover as a template and it does not cover "all the way down."

    But its not a big deal. I am satisfied.
