Yaris Top Cover -What Do You Have?


Yaribleu

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to get a top cover for the winter for the P2 Yaris.

What are you using, and what are your recommendations?

There seems to be several varieties: Nylon, PVC, PEVA etc.

Which ones perform best in your opinion?

Thanks

Don't know if you already bought one or still consider, but when the car is outside, I'd rather keep my hands well back from these sort of products.

1stly, the cars are manufactured to be standing outdoors 24/7, so I don't think there is a need for a car cover at all. 2ndly, wind moves the cover here and there over the car, working like a sand paper on your bodywork, rubbing all the dirt, dust and particles around your lack. 3rdly the covers keep moisture trapped (even the "breathing" ones), so you have highly increased chance of rust and mould.

Well, you could get one maybe for a garage, but for me this is like going to bed fully clothed :) I can imagine covering Ferraris, Mclarens or Bugattis, due to dust, but Yaris should be just fine.

That's my opinion if you ask me.

And what is your opinion based on? What's quite easy to predict is when a cover is moving with wind gusts and rubbing against a car, even a washed one, you will still have dust particles and all other dirt after a while that will start moving against your lack, scratching it. Saying "covers do not scratch your paintwork" is like saying water isn't wet.
