E89 car cover

[AndyO]

Hi
Can anyone recommend a half sized car cover please? I use my E89 daily to get to work and some mornings last winter I had problems opening the doors because the windows had frozen. So would a cover to put over the windows stop this happening?
Cheers

Had this problem last winter so I used gummi pflege on the seals, it worked for me, but the I do love in the south east, not the frozen north seems to stop the glass freezing to the seals, I know some trap a cloth at the top of the window

We're also looking for a good outside half sized cover suitable for our E89 - Recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve just bought an arctic car cap from thecovercompany.co.uk for mine. Just arrived so haven’t tried it yet. The owner was very helpful when I phoned him. I’ll try it tomorrow and take some photos.

Put it on last night and it went below zero and worked a treat compared with the car across the road... it even has gloves for the wing mirrors.

Thanks for the pictures and feedback. We have ordered an identical looking one from Just Roadster in Doncaster.
We want to try and protect the rubber seals as much as possible and also avoid the scraper in the mornings. We've already had a stuck window trying to open the drivers door last week due to the cold.
We do have some gummi pflege to apply to the seals when its dry and the roof can be put down.

I haven't had a great success with Gummi Pflege and iced up seals in the past, however a very fine smear of washing up liquid on the top edge of the window has never failed :wink:
