Anyone using one on a regular basis? if so,what type do you recommend? I'm picking up my Black GT prem./sport,this weekend and since we still have some ice and snow around here,I'd like to cover it until the weather breaks.

Crickets.....lol


I picked one up today but am taking it back,only single layer but 100% waterproof.Problem is,the inside is rough fabric,I think it will scratch the paint.


Hello, is this thing on?

Might just try a google search. We had a real nice one for our 7-series. Can't remember the brand, but I think we ordered it out of the AutoSport mag. that gets circulated every now and then to your mailbox.

Wolfe products used to make a good one for Corvettes, but that was a few years ago. Do not get one that is 100% waterproof. While it keeps the water from going through the cover on to the car, it also keeps any moisture trapped inside and after a while it will start to bleach the paint. Also, my grandfather had a waterproof one and put it on in the winter after it had rained a little and it froze to the car because the water was trapped.

I think the best ones have what's called Generation 4 fabric or it may be something higher now.

What I have found so far is the Coulgan company makes a good one. The others seem to be a bit cheap in construction.
