Anybody looking for a good buy Porsche 356 car covers?

Thanks for the link......anyone use this company before? or any of their models? I hate putting a snug fitting cover unless it is washed.

And I was just thinking I need a cover now that my body is getting painted...

Anybody else is this cover?

It certainly sounds like a good deal, but I am curious about their use of the terms "two door convertible" and "two door roadster".  Is the convertible a cabriolet and the roadster a speedster?  

They're all convertibles

Hoss,

Your curiosity is one of legitimate concern since the front windscreen on a 356 Cabriolet convertible is taller than the windscreen on a Speedster and I thought of that before I purchased my car cover. Therefore, I called the folks at CarCover.com first to try and get a more definitive answer.  Frankly, the best the rep could say was that the covers were made to fit all models. . . and while I was not completely satisfied with his response I took a chance and bought one anyway while they were still on sale because the covers do come with a written money back guaranteed they will fit perfectly. 

The cover is being shipped via UPS and should be here on June 16th but my Speedster is still under construction and I will not be able to do a test fit until it arrives sometime in the next month.  Hopefully my decision (gamble) to buy first and test later will prove to be a good one.

I would wait a good 6 months before putting a cover on a newly painted car.  Paint stays soft for quite a long time (since it'snot baked on like a factory paint job).

100% correct, Wolfgang! My body was paired this past Friday and it will NOT have a cover for some time. I'm doing early research

Any one have experience with this companies product?

Thanks for the excellent advice Wolfgang.  With some apprehension I may not be able to wait a full 6 months so if it's needed the cover does have a soft fleece lining, which should help some to protect the paint and finish.

I always look at reviews...

Late to this party. I also bought a cover from this company a few years ago. What a mistake! Needing a fitted cover for my old Mercedes (parked outdoor) so I looked on their website. Did the search for specific year/model and saw a pic of a car under my category with a nicely fitted (outdoor) cover.

When it arrived, I put it on my car. BWAAAA HAAAAA! It wasn't even close to being form-fitted. It looked like I could have covered my SUV with it and even then would not have been close to snug.

I used it anyway. To me, the economic price of cover was not worth aggravation I think I would have experienced trying to recover cost (repeated phone calls, email, shipping, re-stocking fee) so I used it anyway to cover my car. The cover started to disintegrate after a few months. 

I bought a cover a couple of years ago from Car Cover World.  Very pleased with the fit, durability, and quality.  It is an indoor cover, as my car is garaged, but I also use it whenever I am on a trip.

I think Greg meant to say "I would wait a good 15 years before putting a cover on a newly painted car..."

Rusty,

Hummm, so far based on just Jim and Bob's feedback the odds are 50/50 I'll be getting a good cover. 

I'd rather play the stock market.
