Car cover for a C7 Z06?

[UTH]

Anyone know where best to get a car cover?

Ecklers is probably your best bet.

Are you looking for an outdoor or an indoor cover?

Talk to Keith Beschi from Eurovettes. He can import from any of the major US vendors, saving you time and hassle, and for very competitive prices.

Looking for both I think as it'll live outdoor and indoor......

Wish we could have access to the US Chevrolet accessories, so many to choose from: https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/2018/Che...

Crazy expensive, I know - but this is the one you want:

Are you sure you want a cover?

I have heard that there are potential issues, both indoor and outdoor. Here is one summary - others are available...

I covered my C5 outdoors for 4 years, and the very small amounts of damage to the paint were far outweighed by the protection the cover afforded to the car from the elements.

A particular consideration would be damage to the interior from the sun and the black exterior plastics and rubber seals. My opinion is that the paint was generally better protected from the presence of the cover.

The damage sustained was some very fine and localised scratches to the rear quarters where the cover could rub in high winds. The key to minimising damage is to always put the cover on to a clean car.

Perhaps the older cars don't fare so well, under long-term exterior covers.

I used one of the Wolf Noah 3layer covers, probably similar to this: http://www.covercraft-europe.com/cartlink/index.ph...

I used to put a couple of old duvets on the car first and then put the outdoor cover over them before securing it.

Apart from preventing scratches, this provided a layer of air between the car surface and the weatherproof cover which prevented condensation and allowed air to circulate better under the cover.

This was on a black car and I never got a scratch on it from the cover.

Having looked into it I think I might get an outdoor carcoon. Anyone used one?
