I am looking for any advice on outside winter storage. What I have done is purchased a 4 ply cover( Titan Quattro 4L Car Cover) , rust protection applied, removed the battery, checked all fluids and the anti-freeze, added Stabil, and parked it in my driveway.

We experience winters that can be quite cold well below freezing with snow. I did not plan on starting or driving the car during the winter.

I do not have a garage unfortunately. Is there anything else I should do.
- increase tire pressure
- raise the car on blocks

???

Thanks

 

Putting it up on stands would be good, but make sure to support under the front and rear subframes at the center, so they don't hang by the rubber mounts and cause the rubber to fail. Keeping the tires off the ground will prevent flat-spotting. Cover the tires so sunlight doesn't hit them. Spray oil on any bare metal of the suspension. Purchase some kind of stuff like Damp-Rid and leave it inside the car to absorb moisture that may condense inside the car and cause rust/deterioration/mold. Wash and wax the car and pay attention to seams in the sheetmetal and areas where screws pass through. Open the doors and check the areas hidden when the doors are closed. Make sure these areas are oiled or waxed well, especially along the bottoms of the doors (the rustproofing may have addressed these areas).

 

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate the feedback.
