Can't compare but I had a CoverCraft on my MR2 that I used for over 12 yrs outdoors and only recently had to replace.

I started a live chat on the site and told the guy I saw it on Amazon for cheaper and he gave me an additional discount code to use when ordering direct.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I want to buy a decent cover for my 1999 can.
if memory serves me right these guys sell decent covers. Right now they are having a pretty good sale.
Does anyone have one?
Can you give some feedback on the outside cover? Plus they have a code on there home page for an additional 10% off. I�m ready to pull the trigger but I don�t want to buy crap.
I've bought many different covers over the years and now have settled on the Covercraft tan flannel ones. Go to their site and read about them, but Amazon has the best price I could find. They have all kinds.
That's a pretty good price on the CoverCraft. I bought a similar
CoverKing
cover for my '99 C4 and I'm pretty happy with it. The original price is inline with what I paid. My car lives outdoors.
Make sure to put some rodent killer in various areas of the car. Mice. rats and squirrels love a covered car and will eat your wires while waiting for spring...
I have one of those and it works as advertised, though some moisture still appears between the car and the cover during heavy rain (condensation, I believe).
I started a live chat on the site and told the guy I saw it on Amazon for cheaper and he gave me an additional discount code to use when ordering direct.
So what is the verdict?
Is Covercraft the best all though I don’t the price I would still pay.
The one from carcover.com is half the cost. Does anyone have one? Opinion?
This is not an easy decision to make because of all the options and price point.
I still hope to hear more opinions and options.
What are your expectations for the cover? Are you parking outside and expect no contact with environment whatsoever? Or are you parking in a garage and trying to keep dust off?
Just asking because I have a ratty one I found in my frunk when I bought the car, and mine is more of a "keeping the dust off" cover. It has holes in it that are patched with duct tape, and the edges are frayed. But it works great.
Just be mindful of the cars that are parked outside with covers can actually trap moisture and dirt which could damage the car's paint. It experiences a type of greenhouse effect. It's best to keep the car under a open car port with the covering.
I drove my car 40 miles to my destination then home with no problem. I just drove the speed limit and stayed cool.
I wouldn�t drive in actual snow but once the roads are clear it�s fine.
So my intention now is to drive it all winter.
I hive it a good 10 minute warm up before I go.
I have Michelin Pilot tires in it. I don�t speed I just drive like it was my wife�s car. I spend most of my time in 2nd gear. I plan on hitting the touch less car wash right around the corner from wear live.
Its not like my 74 targa I once owned. That thing would have disintegrated with rust.
Our modern cars are go to go and protected from rust just so long as I keep it clean.
If you mean you let it idle before driving, this may be a bad idea. I've read many times on this forum that it is best to start driving right after the car is started.
Per the advice from Jake Raby, it's best NOT to let these cars sit and idle in order to "warm them up". Cold start enrichment and the lack of load on the engine are contributing factors to cylinder bore scoring as he has mentioned many times.
I wouldn't advise anyone to put a convertible through a drive through car wash much less a Porsche 911. You're better off just hosing it off at your house. Too many horror stories of these cars getting damaged especially the cabriolets.
x3 on your warm ups...
A quality military grade canvas tarp over your car cover would be my choice. One good bought of freezing rain will ruin a car cover.
Thanks for the advice on not letting it idle to warm up. I will adjust this and just start it and drive it.
As far as the car wash goes it�s a �touch less� car wash.
these are bad for cabs? I�ve take
it though several times with no issues.
Im going start a thread on this. It�s a good question.
Can't compare but I had a CoverCraft on my MR2 that I used for over 12 yrs outdoors and only recently had to replace.
I also recently purchased a Covercraft "top down" open cockpit cover that I like very much for my 911. The plan is to buy an outdoor cover for my BMW that I will need to move outside to the side yard so that I can park my MB inside.
So, it's CoverCraft all the way for me.
