Default car covers for Roadsters?

My dealer tried to make it up to me [for getting me a 225HP Roadster without a power top] by ordering me a TT car cover. Unfortunately, his best intentions were mis-guided. As it turns out, the only car cover for the TT is for the Coupe. I guess there's a challenge in creating a cover that can straddle both the windshield and the two rollbars.

In anycase, does anyone know of a good after-market cover specialist that would make a cover for the Roadster... and also, does any of you Coupe owners want an offical Audi TT car cover for dirt cheap!?!<ul><li><a href="http://commerce.audiusa.com/Search.bok?category=Acc_TT_ExtProt%3ACarCover">TT coupe cover @ Audi site</a></li></ul>

Default Many people use the Audi cover very effectively with their roadsters

225TTR uses this one and simply takes her antenna off when she covers the car. You should really consider keeping this cover and using it.

That said, I use a cover made by California Car Covers (<a href="www.clacarcovers.com">calcarcovers.com</a>) that includes an antenna "condom" so I don't have to take the antenna off.

Default Keep the cover and unscrew the antenna and pop it in the trunk. BTW, I heard Audi had one....

Default Did the dealer offer a discount ?

I hope they discounted the car at least $800 bucks... My dealer has a 225TQR in the show room with a (oops) non power top and said they'd take off $800. I declined because I didn't want that desert green color paint.

Default My dealer's parts guy called recently to tell me the Roadster cover is now available.

Go back to your dealer and have them research it.

Default Re: car covers for Roadsters?

I got a cover from California Car Covers that fits the roadster perfectly -- even has a condom for the antenna in the right place.

What will you charge us for the 'higher grade material' car cover? Will it be a higher grade price?
