What kind of car cover?

[G50911]

can you guys share what brand / model car cover you're using?

i'm looking at the stretch type but damn they're pricey.

i did a search and found 2, 5 and 7 layer ones. some with side mirror pockets some w/out. i'd prefer with.

the prices range from $50-$400 so i want to know what's working for pelicans.

my car is parked indoors in a garage so i don't need a waterproof.

I just bought a Covercraft Noah, which I like very much. It's mainly an indoor cover but has enough protection from UV and moisture to use it as a short term outdoor cover if necessary.

My car is parked inside a garage. I needed a cover just to keep our cats off the car so I ended up with a cheap Budge. Nothing special but it gets the job done for not a lot of money. -J

does it have cut outs for the side view mirrors? anyone know if there is a difference between a coup and cab version?

Same here, but I bought the medium size covers from Costco. Can't beat $40 for a cover, and change them every 3 years when they start to shed.

If you are just trying to keep dust off of the car, not using a cover is best for the paint in the long run, if you drive the car with any frequency.

I too use a Budge cover and I think it cost all of $60. My car is garaged. I use it primarily as a dust cover. It does offer some protection when walking in and out of the garage with shovels during the winter. It doesn't have any pockets for the mirrors, but I don't mind.
Those stretch type covers are purely dust covers, offering no padding. One mind as well use a few old bed sheets which is hell of a lot cheaper than a custom fitted cover.

yeah i guess im really looking for a dust cover cause i dont mind if it doesnt have padding. i would like mirror cut outs tho.

What's your reasoning for needing mirror cutouts?

The Budge B-3 Lite I purchased doesn't have mirror pockets but the it is contoured around the mirrors. Again, it's a cheap generic cover but it works. Elastic bottom that easily pulls around the bottom of the car. Way too baggy for me to want to use it in a windy location but works fine inside a garage. The elastic helps hold it up over the engine lid if I pull in and want to cover the car while it's warm. $30 Amazon Prime I couldn't buy sheets and sew them together for that little money. -J

My car came with a couple that the PO had bought. One is for outside and it has a soft liner you put on first and then an outside liner you put over it that is waterproof that goes over it. It has the Porsche script on the front.

The other one is a soft cover that is apparently made by California Car Covers.

Both fit the 911. It has side mirror pockets and it fits the front fenders well.

Both are nice and good quality. Not sure what they cost new. I have only used them each once or twice. They are very handy to have when you need them.

I have a Coverking satin stretch cover for the 911. It came with the car, and I love it. They are expensive, but they are super soft and seem to provide reasonable protection against accidental hits. Mine has a thick inside layer.

You don't want a cover that is waterproof, because that means moisture will get trapped under the cover. Water isn't what is going to damage your paint, it's the crap from birds and trees you have to worry about.

Pep Boys sells a generic car cover with mirror cutouts. I think it is only about $60.00. I bought a super generic one there for about $30.00.

My car has lived in the garage for 4 years. I wanted to keep the dust off so it's been under a Cal King bed sheet.

[G50911]

thanks guys. that costco deal for 130 is a smokin buy so i bought it. it will be parked inside a garage so i probably didnt need the waterproofing but it wouldnt hurt.

i wished a could've justfied the stretchy cover but oh well.
