Default Looking for a good C6 car cover

Hi all,

I'm looking for a good reasonably priced car cover for the c6.
I have a 2005 if it matters.

I'm looking for something that's not SUPER heavy and is easy to put on and take off. I'd like to use it both at work and at home almost 2x a day on and off.

Gonna get lots of sun as this is a Los Angeles c6.

Any reccomendations would be very appreciated.

Thanks all!!

Get the Noah cover material. Order from Calif. Car Cover. They stand 100% behind their products. I've bought at least 10 covers from them over the years. For the best price, do a search and look at the prices from other companies for the Noah material. They will be about $15 to $20 less than Calif Car Cover and will include free shipping. Tell CCC to match the price and offer and they will. Note: ALL the companies selling a direct fit Noah cover ALL get the covers from one major manufacturer of the covers. It's worth the effort to get from CCC as there are no hassles for defect or warranty even if you've had the cover for a couple of years. The Noah material will last about 4 to 5 years, and gives good protection while allowing the cover to breath.

Default Sunbrella Totally the Best

Sunbrella man, the best. Not cheap but if you want the best. Totally easy to take on and off and the absolute best sun protection ever. They have others for rain, snow etc. I live in FL so I'm all about the sun. However, my Vette is garaged but my Audi is out in the driveway lol

Go to your Chevy dealer and get their outdoor cover, lite weight, nice storage bag, easy on and off, and best of all , it fits like a glove, so it won't blow around and rub your paint. It lists for $345.35, ask for 15% off and you will get it.

Thanks all,

I'm looking at the Noah Evolution.

It's not as good in rain but has bettwer sun and better condensation protection. Both are bigger problems for me in california.

Thanks all.

I feel the best cover for the C6 is the Coverking Stormproof. I'm very pleased w/ it. ......Just to let you know, Vette must be clean B4 you can put on cover...if not you risk stratching paint. I wouldn't put it on after drive to work unless I washed it 1st.

We sell alot of Noahs (a bit heavy) and the Weathershield (lighter, easier for travel). We offer a chart for comparison on covers and pricing. Hope it may help.

Do you sell the covercraft evolution?
Covercraft part number
c16603bk

I'm looking for this one because covercraft had differant part numbers for the convertable vs. the coupe. Wolf only had one part number for both. Just looking for the best fit.

Looks like you only sell the noah fabric and not the evolution fabric.


The evolution looks like it's better for sunny california. From Kimber-clark's website. The evolution is best at sun uv and condensation breathing. The noah is also very good and better at rain and snow. Still it never snows here and hardly ever rains it says both are fine for acid rain. So I'm sure the evolution is a bit better for my use.

Thanks,

-michael

I purchased my Noah (Wolf) Barrier Car Cover from Eckler's. Very pleased with its outdoor protection and it covers my vette nicely.

I really like the one I got off this forum from Zip Products. It's a tan flannel, very soft on the paint. I'm on my third Arizona summer and it's still hanging in there. Most of the covers I get only last a couple of Arizona summers (I use it every day).

Have had a few Noah covers. Switched to Weathershield heavy duty and its far superior. No more white dust on car after rain. Lighter and repels water like crazy.

The cover we sell the most of is MAX TECH.
I will extend the price of $69.95 plus shipping -- which should not be any more than $14-$16. SO -- we can pretty much hit your number.
If you are interested -- call me.

Wolf or Covercraft Noah I believe is the same. I have had two Wolf Noah car covers and both in a short period of time after a rain my car would be covered in white dust. The Weathershield cover after a rain the car looks the same as before clean. You can see the water bead and run off the Weathershield cover. Yes it's costly but worth every penny in my opinion. If you dont mind the dust the Noah for the money is a good cover.
