Weather equipment for the MGB GT V8 covers items that protect the car from the elements when in use and during storage. The category includes car covers, wiper system components, sunroof and sun visor accessories, dehumidifiers and tyre savers for storage protection, and electric window kits as a convenience upgrade. Many items in this category are practical accessories rather than original-specification fitments.
Wet Weather Driving
Wiper system components, wiper arms, blades, motors, washer system bottles, brackets and jets, keep the windscreen clear in wet weather. The V8 windscreen wash and wipe is shared with the contemporary MGB GT four-cylinder. Wiper service is essential for safe wet-weather driving and includes annual blade replacement and periodic wiper motor and linkage attention.
Storage Protection
MGB GT V8s often spend significant periods in storage between use, winter laid up, longer-term storage during restoration. Storage protection items include car covers (preventing dust, scratches and minor damage), dehumidifiers (controlling cabin humidity to prevent corrosion and mildew), and tyre savers (preventing flat-spot damage to tyres from extended stationary loading).
Convenience Accessories
Convenience accessories cover items such as electric window kits (replacing the manual window winders with electric operation), sunroof deflectors (reducing wind noise and turbulence on cars fitted with sunroofs), and sun visor kits (additional sun visors or improved-specification visors). These are aftermarket fitments rather than original-specification items.
