Judy and I are planning on some cobra drives this summer. Need advise on a car cover when it stays out over night. Water proof, fits tight. Will not blow off. Does not take up to much room in the trunk.
I have a snapless tonneau cover. I use that when my soft top is off. Most covers take up a lot of trunk space. And it sucks when they get wet and you have to go.
Mel & I have a "old style" MKI tonneau cover and also a WeatherShield HP soft cover for whole car when we travel over nite. WeatherShield take up very little space in the trunk (about the sz of a soft football?) lol

Consider looking at Car Cover World. They make a cover to fit the FFR, you can find it in the Specialty Covers Category. Many of us have purchased the Weathershield cover. I use mine as a general purpose cover in addition to its ability to protect in wet weather. Car Cover World often has sales, right now they have 10% off plus free shipping. These covers are not cheap, but custom fit and quality are worth it.
X2 on the custom cover from Car Cover World, Dover, DE. Fits like a glove. I bought the Weathershield HP. It's been in heavy rainstorms, parked overnight at hotels, etc. and the car has always been dry and in good shape afterwards. The material is pretty thin and it rolls up into a relatively small bag. Fits easily into a corner in the trunk. As mentioned, not cheap but in this case I think you get what you pay for. I also got the locking cable that goes underneath, for security and also to keep it from blowing off. But it fits so well it's probably really not needed.
Great cover! Takes up very little space in the trunk. Fits like a glove. One word of caution: During an overnight before track days at Mid-Ohio, it rained, and the next morning there was a foot of water making a pool over my interior. The cover DID NOT LEAK THROUGH! We bailed the pool out, and the interior was dry. So, now I put a pole in the middle during overnights....just in case it rains again.
Bill - I've always loved your cover! As a matter of fact, I have it saved in my favorites. Already spoke to Pig about making me one just like yours, in the future. Looks sharp! Do you recall, what size font did you use? What style of lettering?
