Recommendations for a Car cover

steveindabmer · 11-13-2019, 11:45 AM

Sorry if this as discussed before. I searched and didnt find a thread dealing specifically with recommending one.

Im currently without a garage for the winter so can anyone recommend a car cover? I have to deal with Pennsylvania winters and have to park the car for extended periods from time to time. I recently had a hospital stay as well, got out and had pine needles and leaves all over. Didnt even park near a tree, Very aggravating.

Would love to hear of car cover experiences as well.

Thanks

One of the Noah-type weatherproof covers would be your best bet for protection, but they get heavy & dirty being outside. Winds can cause abrasions to the paint when parked outside & the cover is flapping on the car. No cover might be a better bet if you have a good spot, but I understand if you want to protect your "baby!"

I have a Covercraft and a California car cover. The California cover is a better cover although it does cost more. Covercraft is a good cover, well made and the fit is really good. The California Carcover material is better and is thicker.

And don't forget to get/use a quality Battery Trickle Charger/Maintainer if you are planning on leaving car parked for extended periods of time, or you WILL be sorry

This is the car cover I got from Amazon. It fits well and does the job.
