Best Car Cover - Recommendations - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Bob Eyres · 02-24-2017

Because of home renovations, my 91' Z has been stuck outside for quite a while. Can you guys recommend the best car cover currently available?

I know there are many car covers available for different applications, but here are my priorities:

-The car is in South Florida, so a primary concern is heat buildup that can cook the interior and paint.

- It should be weatherproof because we get some very serious storms.

- Good fit, and easy on/off are important because I drive the car regularly.

- Security is less important because, while away from home, I rarely leave it parked long enough to use a cover, and it's home location is in a secure area.

- It's a driver, not a concours car, but a nice non- abrasive inner layer is preferred.

- Low cost is not a priority, just quality and long life in a tropical environment.

TIA, Bob.

I have been using Covercraft car covers for years. IMO, they are one of the best covers made. Great for outdoor and indoor use, light weight, and strong.
I always use the Custom WeatherShield HP Car Cover in Gray, that way you can keep the cost reasonable compared to ordering in a different color which adds to the cost.
If you shop around at the retailers who carry Covercraft, you will most likely get a discount than buying factory direct.
