Topic: Car Cover

[trudera]

I would like to learn about your experiences with car covers. I want to get a good interior form fitting cover. I'm in Canada so the car stays covered for at least 5 months a year. I'm leaning towards a covercraft. What would you recommend?

Covercraft is a good brand, I've got three. I have two of my Mustangs in my garage, covered, and the third is outside with a car cover but also under a canopy. Its been that way for over a dozen years. If you can (snow fall amounts being what they may be), consider a canopy or semi-permanent cover of some type. Moisture is your biggest problem and snow does melt. Also get a set of canvas wheel covers to keep your tires and wheels clean. Another concern is the sun. A cover exposed to the sun will deteriorate quickly, in other words you'll be replacing the cover in a couple of years no matter what.

If its for temperature control storage I like the expensive flannel covers (have some that are close to 30 yrs old)  or the newer dust buster style (still cotton and soft)  both Covercraft.  Just purchased a cheap (under $100) for the Cougar - at best it might protect the car if I rub up against to but not sure if its going to block the dust and will not protect the car if I bump up against it.

I have a heated garage that stays around 55 degrees. I usually turn the heat up on the weekend to putter around. I think I'm going to go with the covercraft dustop line of fitted covers.
