Car cover for indoor winter storage

Nithmo · 10-21-2016, 03:51 PM

I haven't had a chance to search (sorry!)

But I'm curious what recommendations are out there for car Covers. My Nismo will stay in the garage through the winter, I just want a nice fitting cover for it to keep scratches from occurring or dust settling everywhere.

I went to the local Nissan dealership and they wanted $341 CAN for a cover. No thanks. I'd like to spend around $200 at most.

Any suggestions?

Try kijiji or craigslist. I know that there was one fir sale in the gta last week.

I'm in Edmonton, lol.

Are kijiji and craigslist not available in Edmonton? Lol!

i use a quick silver car cover on my Z. my buddy got it for me at a super deal a while back. it's a good fit, been using it for 4yrs (for hibernation only inside garage).

btw, some folks think running car covers inside a garage seems useless but it is definitely worth it.. keeps spiders and other insects off the car.

I agree.

I use one. A thin breathable cover.

In Ontario near Ottawa where I live my car hibernates from mid November to May. Rear wheel drive still is very fun in the snow

but either a truck or a SUV I have a 2014 AWD Ford Escape just because I don't want to be stuck

Yep. November until May.

About the same here...I use the cover that came with my 40th...fits like a glove and is strong enough to keep her warm during storage.

I got the OEM Satin Stretch cover, and I love it. Been using it to store my Z every summer and winter for the past five years (I deploy five months out of the year to different locations). It's a fantastic garage cover. Fits like a glove; the Z looks like a beast under it.
