Default Car Cover?

Where can I buy a good car cover for the SRT6 soft top? I want to keep the dust off of it. Our farm is on a dirt road and because of the prevailing winds we get all that fine dust from cars and trucks driving by. Also, I got a storage locker in town to park the car to avoid driving it on the couple of miles of dirt and rock road to get here because that talc fine dust just gets into everything on a car and it's impossible to get out. Also, to store it in the winter time to keep it out of the weather, especially the frequent mid-west hail, snow and ice, etc.

I'm dating myself, but I remember the old MG Mitten store in Pasadena that used to advertise in Road & Track. That's where we bought cloth covers for our Fiat 124 Spyder and Alfa Romeo Spyder.

I noticed in the latest Heartland catalog they have two generic covers on sale for $39.95. One is for "mid-size" cars and one is for "full-size" cars. I imagine the smaller of the two would work, however, it would not be custom fited to the Crossfire.

Also, while I'm thinking about it... does anyone make a Crossfire "Bra". I got a couple of little rock chips on our trip out west this summer.

Thanks.

i would recommend the califonia car cover co. they make a fitted cover that is very soft on the inside, not cheap but worth it. unfortunatly nothing less than a car bubble will keep the dust off your car. dont wipe the dust dry that is what scratches. use a detailer spray and microfiber cloth and wipe in a stright line not in a circle.

Well here's what I did .... I take 2 well washed and old king sized sheets (cotton), and cover the car with them first, then I cover them with a medium priced cover from Wally world. I may not have the "dust" problem like you, but it served me very well. When removing it, a simple brush up with the California duster, and then Detailer/microfiber toweling.

As far as a crossfire bra? I bought one about 2 mos ago off of ebay ..... @ $150 shipped from a Chrysler Dealer (?) in Michigan. Original Chrysler OEM ..... the only way to go! Fit is PERFECT.. no wrinkles, no slack areas that can abrate. Make sure you get one for your model (limited. SRT, etc) and whether you want the front license cutout, or not. Search ebay (there are other dealers selling there also)......put in "Crossfire bumper cover" to search ..... I probably could look up the name of the dealer if you want ..... just PM me.

I keep my XFs garaged but use the Walmart inexpensive covers. I also have oem bras on both and they work great. Just make sure they are clean underneath. Since I rarely drive in the rain and never in the snow, it has not been a problem. I put a couple extra coats of wax on the front of the hood to help protect it from scratching and remove it monthly to clean.

Get the dustop cover and have it cut special for your car. Get the pockets for the side mirrors. I bought one of these online for about 180 dollars. The best investment i ever made and i live in the country with dust roads. The cover keeps the car dust free and the inner lining in real soft cotton. The dustop cover is made special for inside storage. It covers the entire car even the wheels. It is perfect. Not to mention it protects from dings! .... Which is the real reason why i bought it.

Spend the extra money and get a good cover. Don't do the 30 dollar cover. I did that and the cover never fit right. Don't waste your time or money.... Just go straight for the good quality product.
