Default Question about car covers?

Ok I think I decided on going with the NOAH, unless someone has better choice. Does Noah make a special car cover for the hardtop or do I have to get the same as coupe. Also is there a website I can order from, I might order from West Coast.

Are you keeping it outside? I just covered up my Vette, but it always stays garaged when covered so I bot an inexpensive cover from Mid America. $49 and it works well. Keeps the dust off no problem!

My cover will be used mainly for inside. My car is garage kept and I want something to keep the dust off. I also want something for when I go somewhere like work and cover it form all the dirt and dust. I do not drive my car in the rain, so I don't really need one for that. Well I guess Hardtop and Coupe get the same car cover.

Rob I will check it out with Shawn. Thanks.

Yes NOAH makes a car cover for the hard top.Just tell them the model and yr. and it will fit fine. You have to cut a small hole for the antena. I remove mine and put the cover on. After that I screw it back in.

Bill :cheers:

I've been thinking about getting two of those $49 covers for when the garage is done just to keep the dust off

Put the hole in the cover for the antena, makes it easy for one person to put the cover on. If you car is Zaino'd it keeps sliding off!!!!

My cars were outside until this year so I have boght some covers in the past. When you buy from Ecklers the covers go down on the sides more and fit better.
