car cover

Can anyone recommend a good car cover for the NX? I park on my drive but am getting visits from local cats. I thought i had seen an earlier post but can't find it.

No recommendations but will say be careful what you get.  I used to have what looked like quite a fancy car cover, made of thick material, with a kind of soft lining. It looked good, but when I used it once I found that it let water in, which was then trapped until the cover was removed.

A couple of other suggestions though. Apparently cats hate citrus smells, so a citrus smelling car shampoo might help. Alternatively an ultrasonic cat repeller might cause then to go elsewhere.

I would try other options first. Covers can be a pain to get on and off and can scratch the car or leave it damp. If you don't use the car very much then a cover might be worth a try however.

We had a cat regularly sleeping on the canvas roof of our convertible which was very annoying.

I think I'll give the ultrasonic cat repeller a go.

I had an outdoor cover a few years back for a Citroen I owned made by a company called 'Stormforce'  - I found this to be a good cover which allowed the car to breath but keeping it dry - as I remember they made several different versions - not cheap (£160+ at the time) but certainly did the job. |The only downside I found was handling such a large cover! and finding somewhere to store it if you remove it wet.

Hope this helps
