View Full Version : Car Cover for Roadster
As the title says, I'm looking to get a cover to protect the car from dust, etc. in the garage. I've tried searching a couple different ways, but no luck. My search skills are right up there with my electrical prowess! Anyhow, I know I've seen different recommendations from covers that are specific to the Cobra body to, I believe, a cover for a Miata. As a note, I've got a full width roll bar if that makes a difference. Don't have a bunch of cash to throw at this. I just need a functional cover at a reasonable cost.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

RJD, thanks for the reference! That's exactly the thread I remembered.

If you just want a dust cover for when the car is in the garage, you don't need something as elaborate, or expensive is that one. I have a lightweight cover that works fine, elastic hem, breathable. Less than $100. Universal fit for sports cars up to 17' long.
EZ, these covers work great for dust protection and are not too bad of a price. I think you can also get 10% off right now.

I have this one sitting around in my basement, not being used. I'll ship it to anyone who makes a decent offer.
Bill, thanks, I found a Miata cover at AutoZone that's around $50 that I'm going to check out.
Fman, Travis, thanks for the reference. I looked at them, but they were a bit more than I wanted to spend. Just looking to keep the dust off. Plus, it's only going to be used every now and then. Once I get the transmission work done it won't be needing it very often!
Bob, thanks for the offer. For what I want to spend, I don't want to low-ball you.

We use this one a lot, sized for the Miata. Generally on sale with a 15% off with free shipping. Available in 3 colors. I use one on my own car here in the shop.
