What size car cover for beetle? Super cheap auto
Hey guys
I've had issues in the past with car covers not quite fitting beetles, not going over both bumpers, not keeping out water etc. does anyone have a
car cover they would recommend and what size should I get? Thinking of just going to super cheap auto. It's to store a car outside so needs to be
rain resistant.
Thanks much appreciated

You really need to spend more money on a car cover.
the silver type with a soft felt like inside.. also the thicker the better.
type 3's are more like the standard 3 box shape of cars..
Beetles are very different. better to have a larger rather than a smaller cover too..
most car covers don't last long out in the SUN.. the UV rays kill them.. I had a canvas car cover many years ago.. just a large rectangular size. I
used to double it over. it lasted many years out in the weather..
cheers

I don't think waterproof car covers are a good idea for cars kept outside. My theory is that water is guaranteed to get under them somewhere, and
with a cover over the top it will not be able to dry out. My advice would be to just give the car a good coat of wax and don't cover it with anything
else. I have a parts car which is stored outside, it was under a tarp for a while, but the tarp disintegrated. I don't think it really helped much.
