Default Best car cover ?

I been looking for a car cover for my 98. I have found 2, 1) the noah and 2) the stormsheild . Which would be the best for me as in my car sits outside, no garage. I also would like to know who has the best price for one too. thanks JAY

I ordered the Stormshield from PFYC. Don't have it yet, but Brian is a great guy to deal with. He has a gotten a lot of my business because of the way he operates. He has never let me down.

Default Eecklers Wolf Cover

Have had Wolf waterproof cover for 5 years. Is water proof and thick to prevent accidental scratches. Used in Rain and Snow. Works good. Does leave dust residue when removed. Could be cover is getting a bit old. Also I scotch guard it after a couple of years to keep water proof working. Good luck.

I would probably go for the noah cover. I bought the same manufacturer but lesser model - "Blockit 350F" and after just 4 months of sitting outside (occasional rain, moderate sun) the top sides are extremely thin and about to tear.... Go for the noah; it's supposed to be much thicker.

I have the custom fit one in the corvette accessories catalog

CH246412496964

Very well made held up to 10 feet of snow last year. Fits like a glove and allows your mirrors to be turned in. Very soft on the inside and can be washed


Good luck

In my opinion, there are many quality outdoor protection car covers, but FOR THE MONEY, the best choice is a cover made with the NOAH fabric from Kimberly-Clark!

The best car cover is probably no car cover at all.

Debris gets under the cover.........then you pull it over the car........all of a sudden.......scratch.
