Chad10 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Given the unreliability of the current weather, I’d like a decent, but not too expensive, easily fitted shower cap for my wide bodied Westfield…..not for travelling purposes, just shelter from any downpour. Any recommendations please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Softbitsforsevens have good feedback. Their lead times aren't the best as they're a small business and make most things to order though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB21 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 +1 for the SFBS shower cap. Fits well and comes with a neat bag that goes behind a seat (in my car at least!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I recently got a SBFS storm cap in preparation for a trip North. Not used it yet, just trial fit and it is a very good fit. Think I waited about 2 weeks for it, much quicker than the half hood. If anything I just wish the material came down past the windscreen and covered the two vents at the scuttle panel to stop rain water getting in. Having said that I'm glad I've got it. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on you Did you have any issues with water ingress through the bonnet vents at the scuttle, or should I not be concerned? Just thinking about the fuses mainly, now that I've sealed the scuttle with silicone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insuranceman Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 This is what replaced the car for 3 months. I had another cover over the bonnet to protect the engine compartment but the engine block and alternator show surface corrosion. I have had to repaint the black bonnet vents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife would like me to move into the garage aswell 😆 All joking aside, shame you've had some repairs to make afterwards, can't image redoing the vents was easy.
