I thought those quotes were for the window and all the rockers and trunk and ... everywhere else with rust.
Just for the windshield that's preposterous.
Definitely don’t want a show car, just a healthy runner that will stick around for a while so I can learn and have fun.
Until my garage situation gets sorted out, I've been storing my X outside under a cover. Since the car is nearly completely rust free I decided to splurge and bought an expensive cover that claimed to be water proof.
Turns out it is. The cover is made of at least 3 layers. The bottom layer that touches the car is a soft felt like material, and the top layer is your typical "car cover" material. Sandwiched in between is at least one waterproof tarp-like platsic layer (there might actually be multiple layers of this tarp-like material).
As long as the cover goes on when the car is dry, the car stays dry no matter how hard it's raining. I've taken it off a few times immediately after a storm to check on how effective it is and I've yet to find a wet car underneath lol.
It obviously won't do anything to combat humidity (but then again a detached garage without a dehumidifier won't do much better), but keeping the car actually dry in the rain is a big advantage over all other cheap covers I've used in the past.
aarpcard, that sounds like an improvement over mine, what is the brand?

This is what I ended up getting. They make cheaper ones with fewer layers too. I also think Amazon might sell them at a discount. It obviously isn't talored to the X1/9, but it has eyelets you can attach bungie cords to and a drawstring. The XS fits, but if I had to buy it again, I would have bought the S.

what exactly this product does contain? it looks like vaseline, but way more expensive
So, it’s the 7 layer “storm proof” executive SM in size small? Any pics of yours in place?
