One of the links is probably the thread where I warn that the cover we got from minispares comes from the UK and they disintergrate in the sun within a few months. They now say not suitbale for use outside in the Australian sun. Just thougt I would let you know in advance. Cheers.

Waterproof, but can they be left outside long term? or is it more a dust cover?

Mine.
Small car type.
$145 plus $12 postage (Syd) It took two weeks as Nola makes them to order.

She asks if you have external mirrors or aerial etc and she will put additional pockets in to suit. Great service and lovely lady to deal with.
