Does anyone have an all-weather cover they would recommend for a Mini. My 2004 S needs to be parked outside in the spring, summer and fall (the GP 2 is parked inside at all times. The cover that is currently being used is old and in need for repair. The manufacture of the original cover no longer makes covers and I really would like to find a good one foe the R53. If anyone has had good experiences with a brand and style, please give me a recommendation, Thanks
I have had a Covercraft 'all-weather' poly-cotton single-ply ten years with near daily use and it's held up very well. No rips or tears, elastic still holds the cover snug to the car fairly well although gusty wind requires a lanyard to keep it from parachuting off the car. Or I just remove it.
It isn't impermeable to rain but I traded that off for breathability, washability (gentle cycle, cold, drip dry or tumble low) and price. It protects against sun, dust, and birds, which is all I really needed.
They have fancier ones, depending on what you need. The quality and durability have been well beyond what I expected for what I paid; about $200 shipped.
