Anyone know where I can get a car cover to fit a squareback?
Can anyone recommend a good brand as well?
Thanks all.

Covercraft covers are good but not cheap. Got one on my Ghia and had one for my old splitty, tailor fitted, breathable, real nice. Don't have a link but should be able to come up with a supplier from google.

Some are waterproof and have vents to allow air to circulate
and have a nice soft lining inside...
I have bought two of these over the past few years...
They were rather expensive - around $150 from memory...
others are breathable and not really waterproof....
I don't like this type....
I don't know what the ones at auto cheap are like...
A Medium size should fit a type 3.....

Another option is a gazebo.
The Wearhouse has 6x3m ones ~$200, roof only. Seems to be lasting OK.
I see Super cheap has them with sides for ~$300 which are as good as a garage. Never had one, so no idea on quality.
Both big enough to house a kombi with room to spare.
The Wearhouse has 6x3m ones ~$200, roof only. Seems to be lasting OK.

anything will fit a t3, as it is pretty normal sedan size. even Kmart has them for around $40

Yeah the glad wrap ones should be avoided - some other good suggestions though - I just chose to put Igor in the Garage and the ScoobyDoo outside

Canni had one of these for her beetle - unfortunately in the recent giant storm it collapsed on it 🙁Andy wrote:Another option is a gazebo.

Not good. I think the roof filled up with water and it couldn't hold the weight.

A car cover is OK if the car isn't in the SUN,
as the car will get very high temperatures inside it....
You could try a heavy blanket or doona on top of the car before the car cover is put on....
