<x-charset UTF-8>sorry, searched the archives, but couldn't find a really good answer. i used to have a beautiful paint job that had lasted me 10 years and cleaned up great. i always kept the car in undergound parking or a garage. i moved down here to southern california, thinking my car would love the great weather. however, after a few months of the heinous rain we had last winter, my car emerged with some metastatic clearcoat cancer. it seems to be spreading (hence the cancer comparison) and i'm hoping to stop it while i can. if i have to park outside in an apartment lot, is a car cover the best way to go? is there a certain brand or "quality" i'm looking for? there are a bunch that say they are good for sun, but not for rain. with a good paint job to protect, do i have to keep the water totally off it, or is it ok to keep the sun off and let it get wet with a thinner cover? can i get a generic cover or is it not worth getting one that doesn't fit perfectly? what do i do about my antenna that doesn't go down past 1.5 feet? if my car has a 3/4 roof rack, can i still use a cover that's cut for a stock square? thanks, Dan --------------------------------------------------------- 1967 Red Squareback "Stanley" (back from list hiatus because of busy med school) www.hoopes.net/dan/square/before.html --------------------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </x-charset>
