Recommendation on car cover

Lou0000 · 10-03-2018, 07:15 PM

My car unfortunately will sit out side for the winter so was hoping you guys had some feedback on outdoor car covers. Suggestions/recommendations welcomed

I have a Covercraft Noah that I used while stationed in Germany. My car sat outside, but under a car port so not a 1 to 1 of what yours will experience but it did get snow on it at times. I'd definitely recommend it and they make versions specific to the the Base/Sport and Nismo.

I’ve tried many car covers over the years, and have found that while most work fine in the short term, they usually deteriorate due to UV exposure from the sun. Covercraft Noah’s have lasted me about 2 years, and Covercraft Weathershield about 3 years.

The best cover I’ve ever had was the CoverKing Auto Body Armor - tough, waterproof but still slightly breathable, and was still going strong after several years with no noticeable deterioration.

Agree with Analogman. The UV rays are going to be your biggest enemy. I currently have a Noah that I have had for close to two years and it has been great so far. First one I had was from California Car Covers, fit was excellent and lasted almost 4 years then tore at the seams during some light wind. For the money I would get the Noah. Just bought a new house with a 2 car garage that I move into next week so hopefully I wont have to worry about having a heavy duty cover anymore.
