Hi all, I'm looking to get a cover for my roadster for indoor winter storage. I have looked at some online from 60 bucks up to 350. i would appreciate any input from you guys here on what is the best value out there for a decent cover that won't break the bank. The car will always be stored in a garage, but there will be times I would like to cover it outdoors during weekend trips at a hotel parking lot. Thanx.

 

I bought a $30 car cover from WalMart for mine. I only use it in the garage and it does exactly what it is supposed to do.

 

I have a California car cover (.com), but would fill the trunk of a roadster on any trip, and I pack light .
I would have to check my records for the cost, but it works great in the garage for 5 month's of the year.

 

5 months? I don't know how you do it Dave.

 

closer to 7 months up here in Vermont. Put the car up the end of October and there she sits till May. Long time but it keeps the miles off.

 

You guys are breaking my heart. You need Crossfire blankets. Head south "Sparkies"

 

Check out Covercraft.com They have several different types of covers. You want one that will breath and not trap moisture. Mine also has a locking cable.

 

Just about any cover will work in the garage. I concur on trying to put a cover in the roadster's trunk and any luguage. It is Not going to happen. You would be better off with a bra for road trips and buy a cheap cover for winter storage. My Xfires go in the garage at the end of October and come out in April. Today was the first snow. They expect 3 days of the white stuff. Should be a beautiful Thanksgiving. Not all of Arizona is HOT but we do have near 330 days of beautiful blue skies.

 

Thanx for all the input guys. I just ordered a cheapo cover that will be for the garage only. Now I can give my wife all of her king size sheets back.

I bought a custom fit (with pockets for side mirrors) Dustop cover. EXCELLENT protection and excellent fit. Inside is soft and not abrasive. One of the nicest things I bought for the car and perfect for indoor storage. It covers the car like you wouldn't believe... fit like a glove and even covers the rims. It keeps all the dust off and also protects against dings (which is the main reason why I use a cover)! I think it cost me 185 and felt like crap when I ordered it. Originally thought it was a waste of money until I put it on the car for the first time and was greatly impressed! I had a cheapo cover... never quite fit right. Didn't look good on the car. I got the custom cover and what a difference. Worth the extra money for the good cover... every time you see the car covered you will be impressed.

 

have a look at budge group 2

thye have a wbsite site. google it

have the cover for the past 6 years, no issue with it

it will do the job..

my best from Texas!

 

For garage storage there is no concern about wind blowing it off. I bought a larger size Budge B-3 and cut the elastic edge and excess material off. Without the elastic it is very easy to put on and take off. It certainly is better than old sheets and blankets that leave fuzzies on the convertible top.

 

califonia car cover. best in the buisness. buy a good cover once and forget it.

 

Butch - I agree with your selection of an inexpensive dust cover for inside storage use.
