So winter is here and some owners putting away there cat, it would be great to see your indoor covers and recommendations, also any customised covers. Does price really matter or is there good budget covers that do the same job. Think there is issues with breathability of some covers in non heated garages. A cover keeps the dust of but is a cover a waste of time in a non heated garages

 

I've always figured that an indoor cover is basically a dust cover so I decided to go the econo-route [after spending a great deal of money on covers in the past] and use two 10'x12' 5mil? translucent plastic painters drop cloths I buy at Lowes/Home Depot for not so much money. They come in a pack of 5 or so. I tape two together and drape it over the car. After figuring out how to fold it, it goes on and off without a great deal of effort. After a couple of months [depending on time of year], I toss it and tape up another "cover." Costs about USD2.50 per cover. Not bad.

One of the benefits is that you can see the car through the cover which is the next best thing!

 

This is the OEM cover. I think Covercraft makes them for JLR. Inside the garage but the cover can be used outside, though I think it’s better suited for indoors use. Fleece lines, 6;years old and still in excellent condition.

 

California Car Cover. Very happy with it. This is my second year using it.

 

Wife got me this one on Amazon (I assume, because she buys something daily there!). Do not recall the brand, but is very nice quality, and fits well...and you DO want a breathable one for indoor storage.

I'll get a picture of mine, but its a Cover King. Soft, almost sweat pant material. Custom made to fit the car. I think I spent 200 or 300 on it. I really like it for indoor. Defiantly not for out doors. They have a variety of colors too.

 

Here you go.

 

Here’s mine

 

Does each F Type cover flex at the side mirrors upon "locking"? I know.....dumb question but my John Deere 3400 is now covered with 8"" of SNOW!
I would like to know the WEATHER TECH model # and price....thanks.

 

It is WeatherTech’s Form-Fit Indoor Car Cover. Current price is $459.99.

Nice covers guys, mines in garage but isn't heated some times on cold night you can see the haze of the cold on the body work, was going to get a cover to see could I prevent this, not sure a breathable cover would prevent it or just leave as is, any advice welcome or any other member had this issue and found a cover to prevent it.

 

Most covers will flex to accommodate the mirror retraction.

 

Mine does. Plenty of room for them to fold back with cover on....

Because I have an old school carport, and probably will not add an addition, I'm using a cover from Amazon (carscover brand fitted).
I then bought a Rhino car pocket, it's not outdoor rated, but if I can get a couple years out of it, at $300 it's worth a shot. The pocket came with about 5 lbs of dessicant and I added a few packets to the interior. I then placed a remote thermo/hygro monitor in the cup holder to watch the humidity. The windows are closed, maybe I should place the monitor in the bag ouside the car?

So, it's an indoor cover under another indoor cover but they're outside.

 

I spent the ~$500 for a custom fit Cover King cover and I would recommend NOT buying one from them. They apparently cut the mirror pockets on mine wrong and have been jerking my chain for almost 2 months trying to get it replaced. I sent them pictures of the cover, then they wanted pictures of the car. Then they didn't like the pictures of the car so they wanted proof of the make / model. Apparently the Jaguar emblem and the big old F-Type S badges didn't do it for them so I had to send them documentation on the car.

After I did that, they ghosted me. I've tried to follow up with them 3 or 4 times and they refuse to respond. I wouldn't be bitching if it was a $100 cover, but it isn't.






One side fits just fine, the other looks like this;

 

Wow...Sounds like they suck. And all of the requested "Proof", is just stalling or looking for a way out. If they were questioning me about "my car being the wrong one, and the issue"...I would ask them WHAT car that cover is supposed to fit, and try that one on

Well...sorry for the BS. I will not buy from them...And hope you get it resolved.

Merry Christmas.

I went with a Covercraft custom fit.

 

While my Coverking Satin indoor cover fits perfectly for the 7 years I’ve had it—as I drive my car year round I only cover it if I’m away for an extended period of time—your experience is totally unacceptable. Between the ridiculous fit and lack of customer service (never mind the hoops you’re being asked to jump through) you have every reason to be seriously ticked off. I’ve been super extra patient and forgiving with most businesses these past two years but this wouldn’t be one of them.
