cabrio canvas roof

[tom tom]

Hi everyone. this might be a dafft question but if you don't ask you don't know.i have a A4 cabrio with canvas roof, i don't have a garage so it stays on the drive,with the winter coming is my roof going to freeze and split
what do you guys with no garage do?? any advice ?

Freeze when wet, yep a little, but split or be damaged nope. As winter prep, i'd give it a good coat of the renovo proofer http://www.renovointernational.com/ to keep the water off that mohair roof, and you could alway get a cheap cover for it - I've used a sort of silver plastc sheet that had elastic cords in the corners and strapped down to the wheel spokes....kept the ice off, so no morning de-ice needed....just drops off etc and your good to go on 30 seconds :-)

Thanks for advice i will get some of that renovo stuff, i bought some
auto glem that worked ok for a while. i also bought a genuine audi roof cover off of e-bay the bloke i got off said these covers are on the car from new then the dealer cuts it off should keep some of the frost off. do you or anyone else have problems with cats sitting on the roof and leaving hair all over?? any ways of stopping them wanting to get up there?? is there a spray that you put on your sofa to stop cats getting on that may work?


thanks mark
