Maserati do one, expensive but excellent and they fit like a glove. I know, because I got one at the end of last year. If you do take the plunge, make sure you order the right one or you might have to sell it cheap, to a fellow forum member!

Cost? Needs to be an outdoor cover unfortunately my car won't fit in my double garage, highly frustrating

Ah, no idea. Mines an indoor cover. Tried Evil-Bay?

I'm probably going to order up one of these soon (storm shield +) I had read that they were very good and with the addition of a fleece liner it reduces the risk of rubbing that unlined ones can do

Car too long, full of junk, or something more interesting in there?!

Car too long!!!

Only just though, there's a waste pipe at the back of the garage which gets in the way may have a go at cleaning other side of garage out and seeing if I can squeeze it in again I hate trying though in case I damage the thing! It's a squeeze

I have a double garage and one side is shorter than the other.
The long side is fine for anything, and before buying the Maser my Stag was on the long side, and my Elise the short before I sold it.
Now I measured the short side, and knew the Maser would have to live on the long side, and the Stag would have to live on the short.
However I never even thought that the Stag may possibly be too long for the short...
The first day of Maser ownership and the Stag was backed out onto the drive and the Maser drove in, no problem.
Drove the Stag into the short side, stopped and got out, the back end was a foot outside of the garage door, oh ****!
I had not parked right up to the end wall at this point, so pushed her in so the front bumper was touching the wall (with a bit of carpet), and closed the sectional garage door.
The door misses the rear bumper by only a quarter of an inch!!!
So never assume a car will fit!

I may measure the 'long side' trouble is its narrow aswell so it's a risk just getting it in there!! Would be better for the car though

I have always steered clear of outside covers that fit like gloves, it only takes a bit of moisture to get between the cover and the paint to have disastrous effects. One of the SZ in the Alfa club has has such a problem.

I have consider an outside cocoon type cover that vents the air and doesn't touch the car but Mrs Z is not keen on something that looks like an oxygen tent on the drive.

I think I'm better off not bothering! At least the weather is getting better and will be in another property by next year!
