Winter Cover for 1981 911

[ssauro]

We live in Canada - and it snows here - sometimes alot. We are, unfortunately, forced to leave the car in the driveway, unprotected. Last year we used a combination of a king size comforter and tarps. This year I'd like to store it as best as we can, assuming there is a better way.

Been looking at all kinds of covers and there are so many options out there, but none of them seem to address "snow". Any recommendations?

Appreciate any and all comments.

Covercraft is the hands down best
They have made many for me.

My slantnose cover is so good it looks like
The car was dipped and then peeled off.

Just call them

Any pics of your cover? How does it do with the humidity?

What about having the car shrink wrapped? They do that for boats around here in the winter. Seems like it would be a good solution for a car (?)...getting under the car may be a challenge as it does have to sit on the wheels unlike a boat does.

The problem with any cloth cover is moisture inevitably gets inside it between the paint and the car.

Thanks all! VERY helpful. Carcover has suggested the Noah product and have provided me with Canadian vendors too!

The problem with covers that make contact with the car surface is that there will likely be condensation freezing between the paint and cover. Also without protection on the bottom, the moisture from under the car condenses on all surfaces as it evaporates. One solution that seems to be interesting is a product from Germany called Permabag. You drive onto a base sheet and then you zip a cover on that attaches to the base. There is a moisture meter and a desiccant canister that absorbs the moisture within the bag. When the desiccant is saturated you recharge the canister by baking it in the oven. It's definitely not a cheap solution, but to me for out door winter storage it seems like it would do a great job. I personally use a Carcoon which also does a good job but I found with the snow and melt cycles around here that water was getting inside it .....that is until I put the Carcoon into a vinyl carport. This seems to have solved the issue over the last few winters. Cheers
