Default Good cover for the Roadster? Parking it for a while.

I'm going to be on some long term travel for work and it looks like I'll be parking the Crossfire for about 3 months.

Can anyone recommend a good quality car cover for outdoor use?

Any other advice for preventing problems during a long park?

I'm gonna really miss it!

Thanks!

Autoanything is great place, and I purchased my "Evolution Semi Custom Cover" from them. Only had 1 major issue with them, they sent me the SRT6 (which is a little bigger due to the fixed wing) cover twice. This was a manufacturer issue and not Autoanythings fault, they did get me the correct cover in the end.

I just bought a NOAH cover for my SRT-6 Roadster. It should be here later this week. I had a Wolf Cover for my Porsche Speedster in the past which was made of the Evolution fabric. It worked GREAT against just and grime, but water seemed to get through. I'm hoping the NOAH fabric works better.

How do you like the NOAH car cover for the roadster? Does it have a sleeve pocket for the mirrors? How about for the antenna?

Does it fit snug enough by itself...or does it need to be tied down?

Also, if anyone has bought the NOAH cover for the Limited Roadster...how do you like yours. Is it a different fit?

Thanks.

I love it. It fits very well. I would highly recommend it. It does have pockets for the mirrors, but you have to make your own hole for the antennae (That would be my only complaint). It also rolls up nice and can be shoved beneath the convertible top-holding section in the trunk.

I have one too, and I like it. I just remove the antenna when I put the cover on.

I bought a cover from the California Car Cover Company and it fits perfectly. They make their covers from different fabrics, depending on how you will use it, inside or outside. It has pockets for the mirrors too. Tho I had to mark and cut the hole for the antenna. They supply a grommet and it was easy to do. I have a Roadster. You might want to check them out.

I purchased my cover at Walmart for $20, it is thin material like a cotton t-shirt, but it fits perfectly on the coupe. Sure beats wiping it down every day with the duster. It does not protect against dings or water, just keeps the dust and scratches off the paint.
