The MGF Register Forums

I'm a new owner of an MGF and just joined the forum. Currently, I need to keep the car outside. Can anyone recommend a reliable outdoor cover? I've come across a few on eBay but would prefer suggestions from the community. Thanks for any assistance!

Before I built a garage I used a Stormforce breathable car cover i had originally bought for a larger classic. It has given several years of good service though is now starting to look a bit worn. It came with straps that tighten under the vehicle and I also have their optional padlockable security under-strap though i havent used that for a while

A lot will depend on where you are in the States. No doubt there'll be a suitable product available your side of the pond. What you should strive for is protection from the weather but with sufficient ventilation to prevent condensation inside the car. You can get silica gel dryers from the DIY store to keep the damp at bay.

Hi Dwight, Where are you located in the US? I'm in Canada, about an hour away from Detroit.

I can't recommend a full cover, mine live in the garage, but if you are looking for something that protects the hood and glass, to keep rain out, I can highly recommend Sunmate cover made by Mike Satur, we have there covers for both of our Fs/

I have the sunmate, and it is great at keeping the weather off the roof and out of the car. It won't protect the painwork of course, as it is a small cover for the roof and windscreen.

Outdoor covers are available from a number of sources. I've used Halfords own brand ones - which are fine, but like all outdoor covers, only last a few years before breaking down.
