Car Covers

What car covers are people using for inside the garage for a Charger? Looking for a good one but I don’t want to break the bank.

Woodward Fab Plastic Vehicle Covers WFCCC-LARGE these work well for me keeping dust and other light debris off cars in the shed

Been using Calif car Cover lightweight cotton covers for about 35 years - the same ones, in fact.
They were maybe about $60 back then.
Wish I'd bought more of 'em at the time.
The thing about elastic ones I don't like is if you need to open a hood/trunk/door, they want to come off the car.

especially on the cotton part, thickness ? depends on a few things. The thinner will be more prone to letting dust etc through, washes easier, dries easier, but also provides less protection against damage if something should bump or scuff it. myself I prefer a medium to thick 100% cotton

Indoor storage,
One car has a tan flannel cover from Cal Covers, about 25 years old, has done a great job of protecting the finish, but the car is dusty all the time, my other car has a Dust Stop from Cal Covers, and it protects the car and keeps it nearly dust free.

How did you guys cut holes for the antenna? I desperately need a cover for my Belvedere to keep it dust free, but not one of the car cover companies will cut an antenna hole. Seems silly to me. They make covers all day long. I never have. The should be able to measure and cut the hole way better than I can.

I would just take it on and off, or leave it off, my Barracuda has not had a radio for 26 years just muscle music

Past. Cars..i just took the antenna off.
My current car has no radio / antenna

take the antenna off, Install the cover, mark the spot. Remove the cover, make the opening ( round preferably). Advisable to iron on reinforcement patches around the opening on both sides.

1 post and it's not even about mopar

I have been using California car covers for years and have always been happy with them. I also use the car capsules. Very happy with those as well. I’ve recently tried a couple covers from cover king and I’m quite happy with those especially for the price!

I have a California Cover and it’s great. I got the one rated highest for ding protection and I’ve tested it the hard way a few times and it works. As for the antenna, it was easy. So easy I forgot how I did it last year. So it must not have been a big deal. It came with a little instruction sheet I think and it had a two piece eyelet you install. Fits like a glove.

I have been a California Car Cover customer for decades, never had an issue.

I have also used California Covers for a long time with great results.

I ended up buying the California Car Cover. It fits good and I'm happy with it.

This is what I did on an outdoor car that I bought a California Cover "weathershield" to protect. They supplied little patches for antenna cutout but as mentioned, they would not cut for me.

If I was making car covers, I wouldn't cut antenna holes: someone will have their antenna location wrong, or dislike the size of the hole, or whatever...
And then you get to eat the cover and hear the whining.
I always found it easy to locate the hole, or remove the antenna mast.
Still hoping to find another lightweight cotton cover or two, like my old Calif Car Cover ones.

I’ve used California Car Covers for years, both indoor and outdoor. For indoor I Like their dust top cover, light weight, soft inside and does a nice job of keeping car clean.

I have had good luck with the Noah car cover by California Car Cover, cover craft has the same one. I have a truck outside that has a Noah, been through high winds, ice, snow, heavy rain and small hail and still holding up after many years.

California and Covercraft no longer make-sell evolution type covers or Noah
Warranty claims were massive so discontinue them.
Been this way since before Covid 19.
Said even if I wanted one with no warranty no materials to sew one up.
As far as the OP questions
I remove the anntenna.
Indoors I Have Duststop and 2 Moving Blanket from Covercraft.
Covercraft is source that makes all the Moving Blanket car covers and is sold by others. So if you buy a Moving Blanket cover from California Car Covers it is just bought and resold

Indoors I usually use the cheapest covers I can find and only put them on a clean car.
I always take antennas off both indoors and out. You're only adding one more hole for dirt or water to get into and it makes it easier to get the cover on and off without damaging anything.

Covers from California Car Covers are all made by CoverCraft..
1 problem I have had with their car covers is their internal liner material can leave a heavy film of dust... Makes little sense to cover a clean dust-free car than remove the cover only to find another layer of dust from the cover.
I did buy an lite-weight indoor cover for my RR from California Car Covers that was made out of like a nylon material and it didn't leave any dust layer...

Just my $0.02...

The powder you are seeing is the water proof part of thed material degraded as time goes on it will increase greatly.
If used inside will leave a fine flower type substance on the whole car.
In used outside will stop repelling water.
It is why they no longer sell them at the larger name brand companies

Yep it really wasn't a problem. At first I was kind of unhappy they didn't include that, but realized it was simple. I ended up putting folded towels at the two front corners because the car I was covering had sharp corners there and I could see it wasn't going to take long to cut through the cover with wind moving the cover just a little (and wear off paint). I also had to throw a towel over Pentastar hood ornament to keep from tearing cover.

I don't believe that to be true as this https://www.calcarcover.com/ California Car Cover company was making covers was around years before Cover Craft. Cal Car Cover was around making and selling their own multi material custom fit covers under the name Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories way back in the '70's. I'm going to have to check this out. Could be but would be surprising to me.

EDIT: WOW Cover Craft has been around since 1965 so you're probably right never knew that

Ok, what’s the best for outside?

MIKE:
I know what I said was true...
Note that originally both brands were located in SoCal, their main buildings were only a couple of miles apart in Northridge almost next door where I worked for 16 years. California Car Covers does do alot a marketing and advertising but is only a distribution center. Back in the days they were the go-to-guys for car covers but now there is much more competition. Jim DeFrank(founder of CalCovers) originally ran some quick Superstock Hemi cars under DeFrank/Cohen but now mostly his sons run Cal Covers.

Just my $0.02...

When I bought mine top of the line outdoor one was the Cali Covers Weather Shield. It was good for sure but pricey! I paid about $600.
