Hello Cats,

What is the best car cover for an 2001 XK8? Won't be able to get her into my garage until spring. I live in Philadelphia so need to protect her from the wind and snow. Thanks in advance for your help.

I have the OEM cover purchased from Jagbits. Good quality outdoor cover with nice jag logo.

i also just recently bought a 2001 XKR convertible.

i got my indoor cover at http://www.classicadditions.com/ it is a very good quality cover with a super soft fleece lining. fit is also excellent.

i also picked up the windscreen for the convertible and they were both delivered to me in about 2 weeks.

My 2 cents:

For outside use, I've had wonderful results from a Covercraft Noah car cover. It does keep the rain out and does breath so condensation can evaporate. They are pricier than most but you get what you pay for. I have more cars than garage space so some of my cars sit outside year round. The covers have a 4 year warranty, but in strong sunlight they deteriorate after 3 years....send it back and you get a new one that's good for another 3 years. I haven't had a problem returning them (excellent service through autoanything.com) and if you call them they will look for a discount...so you pay about $200/$230 for a great cover for 6 years...new to this forum...am I allowed to recommend specific vendors?

 

Recently bought a hailprotecting cover from Rinder - Autozubehör hat einen Namen in Austria.
For 100Euro got a very solid and easy to use and fixate outside carcover.

Does anyone know the original price of the Jaguar JAG0752 OE car cover?
Jagbits www shows item as 'backordered/out of stock' and no price available.

There's a luxury car dealer selling one locally and before I make any inquiries about it's condition, I'm curious if the asking price is reasonable.
Thanks,
Chris

 

I got an iCarCover size C4 and it's a perfect fit for my XKR convertible. It was $66, and it's survived in the Arizona sun for one year so far with no deterioration. It's pretty thick. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B086WNZRL2

 

What is the asking?

 

To CA Jag,
Out of curiosity, I was asking if anyone knew the price of Jaguar OEM car cover JAG0752 as it appears to be out of stock [so no price] on Jag parts www sites.
Someone local is selling and asking cad$250 [over usd$200].
Thinking a potential buyer is someone wanting an OEM cover 'for show' and not for protection. Materials these days would provide much better UV & moisture protection than a 20 year old cover.

I might offer the seller $50 to put over a newer cover just for aesthetics.

Silver2002, cover sounds interesting if it fits. Generics are hit/miss. I most definitely do not recommend CoverKing. We got expensive custom fit covers for 2 cars. Both poor fit and badly made. Material on one is failing.
