2019 Car covers? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

***FaLKoN240*** · 02-05-2019, 02:24 PM

As these cars continue to age, less and less of them are being driven.

I'm sure we all have different storage techniques. Some more effective than others.

Unfortunately at this point covered indoor storage is not in the cards for me.

I was curious what the members of this forum have had success with in terms of...

CAR COVERS

What size did you buy for your S13? S14? S15?

The ideal car cover reduces scratches, sun damage and allows the car to breathe after rainfall.

PLUS POINTS for a durable rip resistant cover as it gets windy where I keep the car.

Please post up relevant links (amazon or whatever) so I may purchase a cover ASAP.

Thanks everyone!

This may not help you but I was able to find a NOS Nissan car cover for an S13 on ebay. It just so happens to also fit my 350z as well.

don't do the carcovers.com specials unless you want mold. never again. that's the only one ive used and now i just try and wash the car ever other week and spot clean it when it gets bird droppings, leaves etc.

Someone please drop the link to the motherlode. I'm trying to keep my cars alive here in Japan but the winters are shitty and the summers are shitty.

Seeing if anyone has purchased anything NEW in the last 3 years.

Automobiles, tech and storage change quickly.

I don't mind spending a bit more on a newer cover if it has better features.

I bought one a few months ago. Got mine from covercraft.com. Pretty happy with it.

They are made to order for each make/model. I got the one made from NOAH material. It's waterproof and breathable. It's also slightly thick so it offers some padding.

I had a super cheap BUGDE car cover on my previous 240 last winter and I had a few dents on my roof from falling ice once spring rolled around... I don't think that will happen with the new one.

If anyone goes this route though, I would ask for extra material front and back... it fits my stock body surprisingly well but I'm not sure it will fit over my kouki lip.

Also, I hung some Damp-rid bags in the interior just in case some moisture gets in. Without sunlight, mold/mildew is definitely a concern. The bags are still empty, however, so the cover seems to be doing its job.
