I thought I would bump this old thread for new updated Spiders.
Anyone have advice on obtaining a 2019 Abarth cover?

In the meantime my old MX5 Cover works for about 75% of the car.
Greetings @Mike34 et al,
Finally had a chance to test the new cover in a rain storm last night. I have either had the car in a garage or just the cover off in the few storms we have had latley. I am disappointed to report that this cover did not stop water from permeating in. I was expecting a bit more from a $300 cover actually. So i defintley would not recommend this to be left on after a rain. When i removed it you could see the dirt ridged up on the what hood -surely would be damaging if cover was left on. Pretty much acted like my old $120 MX5 cover. Also something to keep in mind is after a rain you will need to dry this puppy out before putting it back in the trunk to prevent possible mildew. I have mine hanging off my rear view mirror now at work out in the parking lot
Anyhow to summarize. A pretty good cover that fits well and I love the blue it looks great. Also good to keep off the daily dirt, sun and grime. However, i would def not leave it on after a rain. To be honest i dont know if there is a cover that will block out rain and moisture so there is that.
Ride on!

yeah might be a good idea to leave in place. I had to go to work though. I have to get those galloping dollars to pay for this sweet car!
Also i would be concerned about the dirt and the car cover rubbing on the paint.
anyhow -thanks for replying and hope all is well in the islands!

Hey @Mike34 I had some birds drop their cargo last night on my car cover! This brave cover took the punishment so my paint would live on!
My question is- can i wash this Carcraft car cover in the washer on low and tumble air dry?
