I'll have to keep my little Zee outside for a few months as my garage needs some (serious) attention; can anyone recommend a cover (make, website?) for the sof top only? I don't feel I need to cover the whole car, just protect the soft top & screen from rain, dust & birds (droppings!!!)...thanks in advance, Dirk

There are some hood/roof only covers available that have magnets in the hem so it sticks to the car. I've heard differing feedback on these, and I'm sure that a few have bought them on here. Some have suggested it can leave small scratches where the magnets are sewn in to the cover (trapped dirt I guess).

One thing to watch out for when looking!

My sister has the cover with magnets and it indeed does create small scratches... But if you're only using it for a couple of months it might not be to much of a problem.

Thanks Shelly - I've taken the plunge for a few pounds - I feel bad every time the Zed gets wet; especially as I haven't had time to waterproof the soft top!
