Get it from Costco. Excelent quality, good fit, great price. Does not fit like a weat suit (i.e. like the factory cover) but it is good enough.

 

Quality of car covers can vary greatly with price, just don't skimp out and buy a cheapo junky looking cover that offers little protection.

I have a custom fit cover from carcoverplanet.com that I'm happy with. I got the "Coverbond 4" material for it's thickness and protection from falling tree branches and such, but they have a variety of different fabrics to choose from. The fit was perfect, and for 145 bucks it was well worth it.

 

Thanks for the responses everyone.

I did realize some conflicting points on this thread though. For outdoor use, is waterproof preferred or not?

 

First off, great name. Despite J.W. Black Label being blended and on the lower end in the scotch world, it is still one of my favorites.

Did your cover come with a storage bag? I was actually looking at that cover for the same reason you got it. How does it hold up during heavy rain?

 

I don't believe the cover came with a storage bag, but i could have just misplaced it. The Coverbond material is not waterproof so during heavy rain the car douse get wet. It breathes rather well though, so the water is not just trapped under it for to long. I would have preferred a waterproof cover but must of the waterproof covers were thin, and as i mentioned i wanted a thick cover. I would have got a cover that was both thick and waterproof had it not been 350 bucks or so.

So far this cover still looks as good as new, but I've only had it for a few months. Based on other covers i have owned i expect it to hold up for years.

 

anybody tried using a carcoon?

they use two fans to take moisture out and keep the inside dry whilst circulating fresh air as well

it stops brake calipers seizing, rubbers perishing, leather cracking and organic materials from thriving etc........

a lot of lads use them in the winter over here in ireland for there ae86 corolla GT coupes and mark II escorts
