Car Cover Recommendation

Post by **Humblej** » Fri Nov 05, 2021 12:53 pm

Looking for a dust cover for my T. Had one I really liked that was a light green cotton material, bought back in the 1970's. Anyone have good experience with new covers? Intend for inside use for dust control.

I have california covers on 6 cars. Just ordered another for a 06 mustang, outside storage. Expensive. 6-8 weeks delivery. The old cover may not last that long. Going to get a cheaper version for temporary $30-50.
Some thing to consider. Figure a modern equivalent size car (like a 4 door jeep or mini van) $30-50 from ebay.

I got a cover for my '14 from CA Car Covers. It was originally for a '13 and didn't fit well but they re-worked it and it did fit much better, though still kinda marginal. The biggest complaint I have is that dust goes right through it. It is definitely more waterproof than dust proof and makes a much better short-term outdoor cover than a winter-long indoor one.

For my late Dad's '23 Canadian coupe, I got one from Lang's. I was very impressed with the fit and its ability to shed water. I can tell from the material that it is far more dust proof than the other one. So that is the one I would recommend.

I seldom cover cause I'm always driving them. But for an "extended time"...3 days or more...

I may cover most of the car...I use flannel bed sheets and clothes pins on them at the fenders. I like to keep it simple.

I was happy using two queen size sheets but I’m happier with the heavy cotton fitted cover my wife bought me through Snyders.

I’ve always used Covercraft because they have the patterns for any odd shaped car on the market and even ask if you have side mirrors or a back spare tire. Calling them is the easiest way to order.

Thanks everyone who provided recommendations. I was able to focus my search based on your recommendations and came to the conclusion that it was Covercraft that I had bought from decades ago, who has a single ply cotton/poly indoor fabric choice that seems to be the same or similar to what I had before and liked so well. On sale with free shipping, they also offer a military discount, but not a sale price and military discount at the same time. Order has been placed, thanks for your help.

I bought three from Lang's, made by Covercraft.
