Weather protection when roof off

Thatsjustdandy · Jul 1, 2019

Hi,

Are there any proprietary covers that are suitable for putting over a swb series 3 when it’s parked up once the roof is off? Would like to leave hardtop off for the summer but would like an easily attached cover to put on it overnight etc. Haven’t got room in the garage unfortunately.

Have you any hood hoops?

Does your windscreen fold flat?

Do you mean a tonneau cover? I've certainly seen them but they could be home made. You could do a full length one with the zip round the drivers seat.

I just leave ours open, less there is going to be a heavy downpour - showers and light rain don't seem to matter - then I just rest the roof back on without fittings

Don’t all series windscreens fold flat? That has given me an idea. There’s a trailer & trailer parts place near me and they sell covers. If there isn’t a purpose made rain cover for a series then maybe a trailer one will fit with elastic cords and plastic hooks to hook into the front wheel arches and the rear grab handles on the rear cross member. They even do a range of width adjustable spreaders, so a couple of those would also be good to stop puddling. Will investigate further.

Only if you don’t have a spare wheel on it..

Flat your windscreen down & just sheet up.
Yes to bars so it does not pool up.

There are some company’s that make truck cabs & rear covers if you decide not to put the hard top back on.

Actually, on some Series Ones you can put the windscreen down with the spare wheel on the bonnet .Though I can’t answer for Series 2s and 3s.

you could just buy a waterproof car cover to stick over it.

You might need more than one of these as they are only A4.
