Buzz topz any opinions?

[Gordon13]

I'm Looking to protect the car a bit over the winter and started looking at covers. I found a link to 'Buzz topz' on the BMWLand forum and the members there give them the thumbs up.

Any one have any experience or views on these ? they are less than half the price of Cabrio Shield ?

Hi, The Buzztop cover has been 'discussed to death' in previous posts, if you do a search on this site for the thread you can read and arrive at your own conclusion. I had a friend who bought one and it faded terribly and left black marks on the paintwork, admittedly they left it on unused for a lengthy period. The makers were offhand and unhelpful. Belting car by the way, is it a sport?

Thanks, i did a search and read the various comments, maybe give them a miss

Any thoughts on the classic ? http://www.classicadditions.com/car-cov ... -half.html

Dont think this is 'breathable' but does it need to be?

BTW, its a sport.

There's nothing wrong with the buzz top if you remove the magnetic strips and come up with an alternative to keeping the edge tied down for the wind. One solution might be to fit 2 straps on either side with a hook to locate into the jacking recesses under the car sills ? Wouldn't be too difficult and not bulky...perhaps even incorporate a short length of elastic to add a little extra tension. If you use something similar to seat belt type fabric, but narrower it'll be easy. An outdoors/camping type outlet might stock a variety of such... ?

Amazing the difference 24 hours makes - every thing has changed !

Now have the Z stored under cover, so I am now after a light-weight dust cover ?

I bought one of the Classic Additions ones after its recommendation in one of the other Buzz Topz threads. It fits perfectly and does exactly what you would hope it would.
