Well when we go back home (Florida OHH how I miss you) for the summer for vacation we are leaving the tC behind while we are gone . I would like a good car cover thats waterproof to protect her. Also how thick is the material? and how does it stay on? I mean do I have to worry about it lifting up if its a windy day? Geez I may rent a storage unit to put her in....I hate leaving her behind just not enough room in the car for that long of a trip.
Thanks for the help everyone

 

Covercraft is a good brand.

 

sweet thanks, and a good price too

 

I got the SCION cover - got it on eBay new for $90 - it's like $200 from the dealer. I don't know if it's waterproof or not, but it's a really nice cover. I didn't get it for rain, only to keep the tree sap off during the spring in my driveway.
Don't get a cheapo vinyl one as they will scratch your paint. Also, make sure the car is clean before putting it on for the same reason - SCRATCHES.

hey thanks alot ill keep looking, the covercraft one did seem to be a nice choice too and HAPPY BIRTHDAY slboettcher!!

 

Thanks, Reese!

BTW, some of the covers have a flannel interior - but make sure they're outdoor covers. Indoor covers will let water in and make a mess.

And another little thing. I made the hole with the grommet for the antenna, but if I had to do it again, I'd not do that. I just twist off the antenna at night before I put the cover on...only takes a minute, and trying to match the hole to the antenna (that sounds bad ) is a pain.

lol thanks!

I am now considering just taking it to florida...I hate leaving it behind BUT then I would have to deal with road debri and I would just have to hurt someone if someone scratched it or something.....AHHHHH but either way I still need a good car cover, cause DAMN the pollen is out like crazy already.

 

I thought you had a covered area where you park (from your pix)?
It's always a gamble, leave it and who knows, drive it and likely chips will happen on the nose from the highway miles...esp since winter has lots of states using gravel for snow...ouch.

Reese I would go with a covercraft they make several types and are of good quality.. Where in Fl are you going??

 

yeah its covered but not like I want it to be covered I wish I had a garage their are kids that run around and when im not home I dont want one of them walking up and touching the car...and getting all kinds of crazy dirty sitting for awhile. I thought about just buying a bra for the trip... I dont know if we do that then we need to for sure roll the fenders before driving that far, lol... im so indecisive

 

back home to St.Pete/ Tampa ohhhh I cant wait, have a lot of fun stuff planned. and my gosh just to see a beach again , lol.

 

Cool thats about an hour and a half to 2 hours from me.. Enjoy the beach..

This is the best cover. I have it, but there is a drawback, the material is very scratchy at the seams. Some people get covercraft to sew in flannel seam covers, to reduce scratching. I have an evolution cover already, so i use both. The weathershield cover is very water resistant.
