Ok guys well for us Canadians its that time of the year where we shed a single tear as we put the cover on our cars for the winter. I need a new cover for the car and was wondering if anyone had experience with some as of yet? Please let me know. Thanks

Matt

I bought the one from Mid America Corvettes. I like it and it fits great. The only problem is that after putting on the Zaino it's tricky to get it fitted over the car without it sliding off.

I just purchased today a Noah made by Wolf I believe. I had them put it on a C6 to check the fit as it was for a C5. It fit just right.

Which type (material) of car cover did you purchase that slides off?

It really helps to get one of the side mirrors on first. This helps as an anchor to pull the cover over the rest of the car. Make sure you keep the cover clean as any grit can scratch the Zaino.

It's the silverguard car cover. My point is that Zaino is sooooo slick, that the cover slides easy while your putting it over the car. It's almost comical watching it slide off the car when you're trying to strecth it on. Once on the car, its no problem. And yes, the trick is putting the cover over the mirrors first, then pulling it over the hood/rear. Reverse the order when removing it. Great cover.
