What can a fellah do to cover his beetle if it's got a roof rack. Seems the "normal covers" ride way to high on the sides--Like my flood pants in high school Smiley.  What have you all done to counter this issue? Will a "new bug" cover fit? Gotta act fast 'cause bad weathers'-a-comin' sooo any help would ummmm....help Grin  Thanks Folks

That is a great question.
Other than sewing in an extension, what have other people done or seen?

Yup. Pull the rack or modify your cover. you could also have a custom cover made.

I just ordered a cover for car's with a roof rack from Ebay. They are cheap so I don't have any idea if they are any good.

Let us know how it works out. If it seems to be good quality I know others would like one. Frequently cheap is not good,

Areas to avoid cheap items:

Pizza
Seafood
auto paint jobs
wives
mp3 players
plaid shorts
whiskey

This one would be SO easy, but since I'm relatively new here, I'll let it slide. Evil

Sorry Don, I was already taken, been married for 22 years, and while you are a somewhat attractive man, that is just not my thing.

Somewhat attactive?? You obviously have not been to Don's house for a BBQ and seen him shake the "Money Maker"!!  You would change your mind!!  It would be your thing!!  Wink
