VW Type 2 Bus Deluxe Custom-Fit Car Cover (1950–1972) — Revolution Multi-Layer Fabric

Give your vintage Bus the protection it deserves with the Deluxe Revolution Series Car Cover. Built for owners who demand more than a thin plastic sheet, it uses a multi-layer "Revolution" fabric that balances rugged outdoor protection with soft, paint-safe indoor care.

The heavy-duty outer layers are highly water-resistant and deflect impact from debris, while the "diaper-soft" inner lining keeps your paint free of micro-scratches. The Revolution fabric is highly breathable, letting condensation escape to prevent the rust and mildew common with long-term storage.

Vehicle Fitment

• Split Window Bus: 1950–1967 (Standard, 11-Window, 13-Window, 15-Window, 21/23-Window)
• Early Bay Window Bus: 1968–1972 (T2a models)
• Body Styles: Microbus, Kombi, and Panel Van configurations (not intended for High-Top campers or Westfalia pop-tops with roof racks)

Why Choose EMPI?

The Revolution Series is engineered specifically for the air-cooled enthusiast, combining puncture-resistant outer layers with a breathable structure — so your Bus stays protected without trapping the moisture that leads to surface rust.
