Thumbs up CoverCraft Ultratech custom fit car cover

Hey all, well after searching these forums for input on a car cover and thankfully finding out the "Official" crossfire cover doesn't fit the SRT before I bought it, I decided to go with a CoverCraft one. I was going to go with a cheaper one as many here have done but after feeling the inner fabric of those they leave much to be desired...
Really until the cover came I was uncomfortable on spending the 235.00 on what I felt was a glorified sheet. Once I got it unboxed and on the car though! Oh! how I was pleased with my purchase! The cover fits like a glove and with a 4 year warranty I started looking at the purchase in a different light. To me it really is worth it as I don't have a garage to store the car and wanted the UV protection as well as protection from the elements so the rubber stays nice etc... I don't/wont be driving the car more than maybe twice a month so when I do decide to go for a ride the car will be pristine! Haha having said all that, I was surprised to find it came with NOTHING! Not even a cheapo bag to store it in... just a piece of string to tie it down from one side to the other encase of wind? I picked up a nice black duffle bag on Amazon to fit it in the trunk when not in use and the CarCover Gust Gard clips as I don't want it moving around on the paint.


Pictures to come when I get a chance

Be thankful you didn't buy the high dollar Cover Craft (Evolution). It's made from heavy weight quilted materals. Always shedding from deteriorating onto your cars finish. It's water resistant to quick showers. During a average shower,it will start soaking up water and get so heavy it will start ripping itself open within a year and half. Send it back and Cover Craft under warrenty and they will seam it back together. You'll then be lucky to get an aditional 5 months out of it. It did have a excellent fit. Hope your material is more durable than the Evolution. I've had two CoverCraft Evolutions and never again. Squirrel Crusher

Yeah no need for the heavy extra layered covers here in SoCal. We get few showers Mostly dust and UV protection is all we need. This cover is a single layer cover so light and easy to handle.

Just wanted to update: As of today (almost a year after purchases) the car cover is as good as the day I bought it, no sun fade or anything and has left my car in immaculate shape when covered!

What about the OEM cover doesnt fit? I was looking to purchase an OEM SRT6 cover for the same price as what you have listed.

Please let me know before I have buyers remorse

Based on your experience, I purchased on of these Covercarft car covers for my 2007 Limited Coupe. I have been using a cover purchased from a local Auto Parts store with mixed results. Cover always seems to leave a light dusting on my car whenever I remove it. And like most of these at local stores, it isn't a custom fit, but has served its purpose for nearly 3+ years now.

Thanks for the update & info.

Later,

Well my new CoverCraft Ultra-Tect car cover arrived last week while I was out of town on business. So today I took off the old cover, washed & dried the 07 Coupe, and then installed the new cover. I really like the way it hugs the body line on the XFire. Hoping to get similar results like lowkeyperformance.

Later,

This past week, took the car cover & washed it to remove the accumulation of deposits after a year of exposure to the elements. Cover turned out great; still retained its orignal shape & fit; looks like new back on the XFire where it belongs.

Bought the Ultra'tect cover through Auto Anything Inc. on line for $225.00, part number for the SRT is : C16725 and is available in four (4) colors. Shipping is free as well. The Ultra'tect is by far the best outdoor cover i have ever purchased. The custom fit of the cover, is worth the purchase price.... it is also machine washable and very compact for storage purposes. i am really sorry i have wasted my money on others, over the years.

Bought mine from Amazon back in 2012. Cost was around $225. Try using the following for a search:

"Covercraft Custom Fit Car Cover for Chrysler Crossfire, UltraTect Fabric, Gray"

After 2 years of constant use, cover still retains its shape and provides excellent protection for our Crossfire. I typically wash the car cover 1x per year.
