Indoor car cover recommendations
I'm getting ready to order an indoor cover for my c7 for the winter. My car will be stored in an unheated garage in southern Indiana. I can expect temperatures to reach zero a few times and many days will be below 32. Which cover would you recommend and why? Thanks!

I purchased a Chevy OEM indoor car cover and could not be more pleased. Great fit, soft and good looking. Not cheap so I searched the internet and found free shipping and discount from a dealer over 1,000 miles away. I too store mine in an unheated garage. In addition I take the following steps 1) wash and wax 2) change oil and oil filter 3) full tank of gas and add Sta-bil 4) put two small containers of water absorbent crystals in foot wells 5) spread moth ***** around outside of car to keep varmints away and 6) connect trickle charger. Never touch the car while in storage and it never fails to start up with no problems plus look great in the spring. More info than you asked for but thought I would share my approach.

"Chevy OEM indoor car cover and could not be more pleased. Great fit, soft and good looking". Mine is black with the "Stingray" logos. REALLY LOOKS GREAT AND WORKS GREAT. Highly recommend.
Can you find a less expensive cover, absolutely. But you will not be able to find a better looking, softer indoor cover than the GM OEM C7 cover the answer is no.

Here are all the car covers

As noted above, if you don't need ding and dent protection while
storing your car - the Stretch Satin is a great cover for the money.
If you do need ding/dent protection, try the Dustop

Since the garage is unheated you might consider covers that deal with moisture such as the following:

I don't cover my cars, but last year we stored a guys bike and put a cover on it. There was a lot of moisture building up under the cover after a couple weeks so we took it off.

I'm intrigued by that car capsule and am thinking about getting one. Anyone here have any experience with them? I think the 16 foot would fit perfect in the garage and they aren't that expensive.

I have also seen it on the Camaro C5 forum.

I really want one of these but the reviews on Amazon say it won't fit in a standard 2 car garage. I live in a townhome and have the standard 20x22 ft garage. Don't see why it wouldn't fit.
