Bibs Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Can I please have a show of hands for an OEM UV resistant shower cap for the Evora? Made from a waterproof, hydrophobic stretch material (think similar to a soft shell jacket) it would attach via clips to the wheel arches and cover the car glass entirely. Seconds to fit and remove and complete protection from UV and water ingress. Price is tbc but I think it's an excellent idea and will definitely be having one for mine.

JimH Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Will there be any form of anti-theft protection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted April 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 It will be tailor made to the Evora so useless to anyone else unless they have one too. That's about it, it's stretched and clipped to the wheel arches, not sure there's much that can be done. I used one on my Elise for years and it didn't get pinched if that helps.

Cdm2018 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 I assume it protects from UV but also bird droppings and tree sap ? If it’s a decent price I will be interested ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky3 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'd be a maybe depending on price. I've actually been pondering why one doesn't exist as they are standard issue for Caterham owners. An Evora one could solve water ingress issues, protect the dashboard and keep temperature down (think of that black roof). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reindeer Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) I'd be definitely interested from the rain prevention angle. Would it be fairly windproof? Edited April 21, 2021 by Reindeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmoore Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Yes, I’m in (pending its cost). These cars leak more than an elderly relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdm2018 Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 My leaks in back so the cap won’t be any use ? At least it keep the glass areas free of tree sap , ice etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibs, mine lives outside on the drive and all sorts of detritus from trees collects in the trough in front of the windscreen, blocking the drain holes. Have to move the wiper and stall it with ignition off to get all of it out and it's a right P I T A. Can it please be designed to cover that trough? P.S. Covering Radiator exit vents too would be good. Just seen I've got moss growing below those! That needs an undertray removal!

That trough drains straight down over the pipework clipped to the bulkhead and caused my corroded pipe so covering that would be ideal, although it would make the design trickier.

phil flash Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Bit worried about black 'cooking' the paintwork beneath it on the Evora when in the sun.

Spanky3 Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Did this ever go anywhere? It'd be a neat product but I guess the market is pretty limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
