Now check out the first section of the add . It reads Highley Water Risistant .
You need one thats full water proof .Those are breathable .
I picked up a Monsoon car cover fully fitted with pockets for the mirrors and tie straps .As yet its worked every winter for 4 years now . Need more info just ask .

If I may comment....
These are indeed breathable, and if you are putting a cover on a soft top then it is essential to prevent the creation of a warm and moist environment which will result in mould and algae growing - unless you wanted a green hood that is.
You don't need total waterproofness, its a benefit IF its coupled with breathability, and if the car is totally dry when the cover is applied.
You also need the cover to allow some airflow, if its not breathable and waterproof, and I'm afraid I cannot recommend your type of cover as it will seal in moisture.
If you want a waterproof cover (which isn't strictly necessary on a modern car anyway) then I'd recommend this type - as it breathes, and is waterproof: http://carcovershop.co.uk/Car-Waterproof-Breathable-Covers.asp
We also do custom made versions of this for the 996, 997 and 991.
