I have the factory cover for my 50th AE and noticed last February with temps in the 30-40 degree range in my shed without heat that I had condensation on the car under cover. Any thoughts as to what kind I can get to prevent this?

I cover mine in an unheated garage in Wisconsin and have never noticed any condensation when I check it. A cover must be able to breathe.

I was going to post a similar question. Please correct me if Im wrong, but I think we are strictly talking INDOOR covers...

Are the satin/stretch covers better than a cover with a fleece liner?

Which are truly the best protection and no danger to your paint OR convertible top?

Thanks!

That moisture may be coming up from the floor. I park mine on a vapor barrier, then cover it.
