What is the best quality car cover available? I'm new here so if it matters, I'm talking about for a 2017 F Type R vehicle in the Florida sun/heat.

If anyone has any suggestions or comments on one that worked and fit great for you, it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

 

No experience on an F Type, but I had several Covercraft Weathershield model car covers. I always parked my Infiniti G35 Coupe or Nissan 370Z in my garage at night, but 5 days a week when working it sat in the company parking lot under blazing SouCal sun. People commented on how good my cars looked even when they were several years old. Keeping the sun off the paint and leather interiors will do wonders for longevity. The Covercraft covers are true custom fit with mirror pockets and elastic around the bottoms. The standard Weathershield model is lightweight enough that it can be rolled up tightly to about the size of a football and stuffed into the optional tote sack if needed, although each night I just rolled it up semi-loose and tossed it into the trunk until the next day.

Make sure you always have a good coat of wax on the car and don't put it on a dirty or dusty car or you risk scratching the paint.

One other comment: They have a 4 year warranty. I have had several of them fail right about the 3 year mark. Covercraft sent me a new one each time, but the new one didn't carry another 4 year warranty. And it failed too at the 3 year mark. The problem each time was that the stitching on the seams rotted out and the cover came apart at the seams. I suggested to Covercraft that they contact their fabric supplier and see about getting a thread for the seams that was more rot resistant, raise the price whatever amount was necessary to cover the increased cost and sell their covers as "new and improved". They ignored me.

I suppose that if you experienced the seam failure you could find a local upholstery shop or someplace that had an appropriately designed sewing machine and have the seams restitched for a nominal cost.
The fabric held up well. I washed the covers in my home washing machine every couple of months on the gentle setting according to their instructions and other than stains near the bottom from tire dressing that didn't come clean, they looked good afterwards.

Covercraft covers are not cheap, but considering that if you buy one and it fails after 3 years like mine did, and then they send you another one for free which also fails after 3 years at which point you can probably get it repaired and get a couple more years out of it, they are worth the money.

 

I have the same car and also live in Florida. I purchased a cover from the dealer.

 

my F type is parked outside in the summer months, I have a Coverking Autobody armor cover , been a year without an issue. . Custom tailored , cost was $399 or $499 I believe, it took about 6 weeks from placing my order to receiving the cover!
