Default Grand Sport car cover-Part Two

I did a bunch of research for an indoor cover and settled on one of those stretchy covers. It was billed as a one size fits all (Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06) but I think it was designed for the Stingray because it seems way too tight on my GS which is a bit wider. I feel like I have to wash the car everytime before putting the cover on because I'm scared of dirt/dust scratching the paint. It does fit buy boy do you have to stretch it tight.

Anyone find a looser one for the GS that they like? I think I'd like one I could easily drape on to hide the car when the garage door is open but doesn't fit like a pair of yoga pants.

I like my CoverCraft Noah. Been using this type for over 2O years. I only use it indoors so I can't speak to how it would hold up outdoors. Much thicker that one of those stretchy kind, goes on in under two minutes and give my finish some nice bump and scratch protection.

I actually purchased it at their outlet site and saved a bunch.

I like the Noah covers. Been using the style since 2001. Mine come from Griots Garage. Ordered four over three cars. Two in use now. Only use them outside. Do not use the cover if the car is dirty. Mostly interested in saving the interior, but it helps to protect all and visually screens vehicle too. So, you could do worse. Pat

Got the same thing. It does feel too tight.

Covercraft does seem to have some good options. Thanks for the pic, that Noah has what I consider to be a proper looking fit without being overly tight. I'm kind of eyeing that fleeced satin indoor cover. A little pricey but going the cheap route initially didn't work out well for me.

I've had many of those Noah covers including for my C5. My GS has the GM stretch cover with the GS logo. And regardless of what cover I always do a once over with some quick detailer before putting it on.

We used Satin Stretch from Coverking for our 16 ZO6 Convertible with stage 3 aero great fit. I talked to Cristine Wurtz at customer support she did an outstanding job, she gave clear specific information with timely follow up.
Excellent Customer Service & Good Product.
