    Car covers
    « on: November 13, 2005 - 05:40:43 AM »
    How about some feedback from people who are using car covers.  I keep my R/T in a pole barn (clean) and cover it with a cover I bought for a 79 Z28 I once owned (sorry, don't know how to explain).  The cover is nice but it's a bit old and feels dirty.  I know I can wash it but I also noticed that when I pull it off there's  a lot of dust on the car. Therefore, I was thinking about a new cover and was wondering what everyone's experience has been. Thanks.

    I have 2 breathable covers, one for each car, and they work well but my only complaint is when I travel to a show and have to park the car outside for the night, if it happens to rain, I'm screwed!!  Definitely not waterproof.  I've been looking for a waterproof one for travel but the others work well for indoor storage!  I think I bought them from The PAddock.

    Check out  http://www.calcarcover.com/   I bought a stormweave from them. Even in a torrential downpour(Carlisle last year), all I had was pretty much dew under the cover. A light rain doesn't bother it at all. They custom fit it to your car too.

    I got a Wolf one from Summit racing.  I think it was about $100, forget what type of material.  It fit my Challenger a little tight lengthwise.  It's breathable and soft.  On heavy rainstorms it'll let some water through so I put a tarp over the cover as I have an unknown cowl leak.

    Summit has one of thier own brand that has a zipper on the side so you can get in the car without having to take off the whole cover, or one side of it.  Not sure if the zipper part is proctected so it doesn't mark your paint.

    MEK... is it soft and breathable?  I've read about some that claim to be both breathable and waterproof, I'm not sure how they do that if in fact it's true.  Maybe yours is huh?

    I bought one for my VR4 for while I had it parked at the RV park before I took it home. Worked really well, it sheds the water. I allways took it off after a rain though just to be sure it didn't dry to the car.
    It fit very well, and if you look at the big goofy wing on the back of the car, they even got it to fit around that. :p

    Yes it is soft and breathable. No complaints here.
