Best Car Cover
Best Car Cover
I just want something to put on the car while sitting in a car port. Not worried about rain.... just dirt, dust and cats walking on it I don't want a light wind to blow it off either (if it is heavy wind I can inderstand)... something that fits nicely. I don't want to pay a fortune either. Any ideas?
Re: Best Car Cover
Being frugal, I visited Walmart and picked up a Budget cover. Fits the car well. Since I garage my cars, I picked up the cheapest (about $30) but the slightly more expensive versions come with a cable that runs side to side through grommets, to "tie it down". I've used one since my roadster was new and bought two more cheapies for the SRT6 and 2007 just to keep dust and debris off them and to prevent those incidental scratches from things rubbing against them.
Chrysler used to sell a custom cover for over $200 -- not sure if they are still available. My neighbor has one and it fits like a glove with little pockets for the mirrors, but I'm not convinced the addl cost was worth it since nobody sees it (but me).

Re: Best Car Cover
I have the custom SRT6 cover. IT has little pockets for the side mirrors, a clear plastic window for the license plate, logos, and a heat-resistant patch for the exhaust pipes. It wraps below the bottom of the car, fitting snugly. I doubt a breeze could even get in. IMHO, totally worth the extra $$.

Re: Best Car Cover
I went to Autobarn.com last year and ordered the following:
Dustop/TechSoft Custom COV-TS-G2 1 193.90 Item-1-Description = 2004 Chrysler
Cover - Size G2 CROSSFIRE Coupe (2 Door)/2 MirrorPockets/ Size G2 2 Mirror Pockets -
Dustop™ (Options: Custom Fit CarCover Lock) (C16461TS)
Custom fit for the crossfire. I'm very happy with the product, delivery, etc. They have different fabrics for different requirements (mine is basically indoor only).
Kind of expensive, though.
Cheers,
Dennis

Re: Best Car Cover
They have some decent ones from empire. their website has a computer generation tool so you can see what the cover looks like on and off the car pretty cool.

Re: Best Car Cover
carcoversdirect.com has covers for the crossfire. i believe they offered a custom fit or a general fit. i ordered the custom fit on the phone with a girl named jessica. the cover itself was perfect and the company offered the best customer service i have experienced in a very long time.

Re: Best Car Cover
blackcrossfire07 - I have a Cover King "stormking" cover that I am selling. It's made for a Crossfire Coupe. It has the elastic at both ends and has the security cable for the eyelets in the middle. If your not familiar, these fit like a glove and the cable under the car in the middle holds them secure. I paid over $250.00 plus shipping for this one and I'll sell it for $125.00 plus the shipping. It's tan in color. Coverking advertises it as full UV protection, rain and snow protection, wind protection, and minor bump protection. I used it about 3 months, outside, before I got a garage. I don't need it now and that's why I'm selling it. It's in excellent condition with no holes, rips, tears, etc. A perfectly good cover that needs a home with someone who needs one.

Re: Best Car Cover
So if someone asked you the length of a 4” x 4” x 8’ piece of lumber you would measure it and say 8’ 8” + 6”?
My figure comes from the Crossfire specifications.
Re: Best Car Cover
This is also the recommended size and cover from both Chrysler dealership and two different custom car cover companies. Do you have a Crossfire? What size cover have you used to perfectly fit yours? I'd be interested to know.
Re: Best Car Cover
Covers for use outside should fit tight and not flap around in the wind as this can damage the paint.

Re: Best Car Cover
Paul66 - If you buy a "Coverking" cover, and you specify that it is for a Crossfire Coupe, you will get one that fits like it should. Mine fits like a glove. It's a Coverking "Stormking" for a Coupe. The ones for the roadster may be different. I don't have a roadster so I don't know about their fit.
