Hi everyone
I unfortunately park my GT out in the open, and will not get it under cover any time soon. I want to try and protect it some how, and was thinking a lot external car cover could be used. Does any one recommend a good external cover Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I bought a 6m x 3m free standing gazebo like thing that worked really well for 6 months until a big wind grabbed hold of it and tore the canvas roof in two...
If your car is in a relatively protected are, this would be my suggestion. Mine was only $160 odd on eBay, and honestly it was very good until I got careless and moved something that was giving the protecting the structure from high winds.

My GT lives outside as well. You need a totally waterproof fitted cover that has breathing vents. Needs to be storm guard material, Autotechnica brand.
I run this one and the car is always immaculate. Never needs washing. I just roll it up a bit on weekends to allow any excess condensation to evaporate. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F180618469926 |

My cousin has a 2 auto technica indoor ones for his E55 Charger and Dodge charger R/T. They are good covers for the money. I wouldnt use it outdoors though. Covercraft kills the auto tech one in every way though. (Alot more $$ too).
