Car Cover - Which one?
Ok folks. I am looking for a good cover for my 03 Vert. It will be in the garage 100% of the time at home and maybe overnight at the girlfriends once in a while. Which cover would be good for me? I was looking at the NOAH cover. It will never see rain. I just worry about the dust and dew when sitting at her house.
Thanks

I bought an indoor cover from Corvette Garage a couple of years ago - cost was about $100, it fits very well, and keeps the dust off the car.

I got one for Christmas (3 months before I got my Vette). I knew I was going to get one, so I asked the wife for a cover. She got it at WalMart for $80. I don't know what kind it is, but it fits great. The only problem is that I have the car waxed so well that it's hard to put on. It just wants to slide onto the floor when I lay it on the hood. The car is in the garage every night and only driven on sunny days so it's always clean. (Yes, I do wipe it down when I get home on the days I drive it. I guess I'm a fanatic.) And I guess I don't really need to cover it in the garage, but it does keep the dust off. Magnetic Red shows dust pretty well. So, for $80 I feel like it's good enough for what I need.
And, as Coverking boasts, mine only has two seams in it also, so it might be made by them for WalMart. Who knows?

Thnaks for the info. I have seen the Coverking but it is grey. I would like to get a nice color with the 50th logo on front, but can't find one.
Broadway, yeah that is my Vert in my avatar. I just put one up of both the Vert and my 06 Goat together. Thanks.

I had the Noah-it is a large and bulky cover. I'm looking at the one from Mid America (www.momotorworks.com) comes in black,gray or red $249.99 or 2-tone black/red at $269.99 - including storage bag. What I like is that it folds to a compact 10"x7" wide.
I have the same.. love it

I have had a Noah for my C4 for the last 5 years. Still looks new(used indoors) and never any problems...
After getting my C5 in Dec I cheaped out and bought a Max Tech. I noticed while taking it on and off the car several times light scratches appeared in the paint. Car was always cleaned before putting the cover on.
I polished out the scratches and bought a Wolf/Noah cover. All seems fine now...

For your purpose (and mine), look at a Budge brand, size #3. Sells for $29.95 retail, and can often be found for $19.95 at various locations -- inlcuding military BX/PX stores. It's single layer, gray, light, fits perfectly, and comes with storage bag. (It has no mirror pockets, but they're not needed.)
