Covercraft's
covers are tested and approved by the world's leading car
manufacturers. From our stocks of over 40,000 individual patterns, we
mean it when we say, "whatever car you have, Covercraft's got it
covered" All our covers are tailor-made to fit precisely and they are
elasticized front and back for easy use. Other features include double
lapped, reinforced seams for strength and shape retention. All our
outdoor covers are supplied with a storage bag and lock guard system.
COVER FABRICS - Which One is Right for You?
We offer a wide selection
of fabrics, to allow you to select the one that will meet your
vehicle's protection needs and budget. Different fabrics offer
different levels of protection performance, and some focus on protecting
from a specific element, like intense sun exposure or dust. Our range
of fabrics is based on experience in manufacturing covers since 1965.
Use the chart below to help identify which fabric is best suited for the
protection needs you require. We've tried to be as realistic as
possible in showing how the fabrics perform in certain conditions, but
keep in mind that our opinion is based on performance comparisons with
other fabrics currently used for vehicle covers.
This is a prime example of what NOT to do to your vehicle! All Covercraft fabrics are "breathable"
to allow good air circulation under the cover. That's important
because it assures that any moisture or condensation under the cover
can easily evaporate, and it also reduces heat build-up on hot days.
Remember, rain water (not acid rain) won't hurt a vehicle's finish; it's
UV rays and pollutants in the air that cause the most damage to the
exterior and interior finish.
Using the chart, you'll
find good, basic protection is provided by the Multibond® / Block-it®
200 Series fabric, while NOAH® and WeatherShield® are more expensive and
provide excellent all-weather protection. For paint protection from
dust and dirt during indoor storage, consider tan flannel or Dustop®.
If a cover is being used in an extreme sun environment, Sunbrella® or
our new WeatherShield® HD may be the best cover to use. It all depends
on the protection level you want to achieve, and the amount of money you
want to budget, to protect your investment. In the long run, the cost
of the cover is minimal compared to the replacement cost of what you are
protecting. Remember, a cover not only protects BOTH the inside and outside of a vehicle, it also acts as a theft-deterrent by keeping the vehicle out of view to potential thieves.
Regardless of the fabric you select, it will be constructed with features found in all Covercraft covers.....
- Double stitched overlapped seams are strong and durable.
- Neoprene elastic is sewn into the front and rear hems to help hold the cover in place.
- Reinforced, non-scratch grommets
include a protective flap on the backside and can be used with a
tie-down rope (supplied) or vinyl coated cable and lock (optional).
