Go for it Ben, anything is better than nothing, I'm familiar with those sun shades.

Especially if you can suspend it above the roof so it isn't touching. I think that would work well.

We have a cover for our 177 that we have never used. We are selling it, as well as the pod due to back issues.  The cover would have helped with preserving the decals, but wax would have done that, too, I think. I don't know if ours would fit a 178, but it is still in the box and will be sold for well under the price of a new one.

Thanks for the offer - I checked though and our 179 is 26 inches longer than the 177, so I don't think that the cover would fit.

You probably need a model 4, because of where your door is at.

I cover the pod year round, takes me 5 minutes by myself to uncover and 10 minutes to cover, all i use is a 6 foot ladder. Just do it the same everytime!

Curious - what brand and "model" cover do you use, and how long have you used it?
