Does Anybody Make A Good 82-92 Camaro Car Cover?

Since I cannot seem to find a GENERAL FORUM (Admins you might want to revisit adding this type of forum) , I'm using this one since it appears to be the closest to what I'm inquiring about...
Further, I could not find an existing thread discussing this issue...

Anyway...

I have bought the best car covers that O'Reilly's & AutoZone offers with the same results...

Crapola...

They ALL tear easily, No Antenna Holes, No Tie down holes, and the sun disintegrates them in a few months...

I live in Las Vegas, and we get a lot of wind & sun all-year round...
no tie downs and you can guarantee it will be blown away...

Tired of wasting time & money on so-called high quality made in USA car covers with 10 year warranties that don't last 3 months...
Sure I get my money back or a replacement, but sick of the hassle.

Love to hear about some good ones that somebody has had personal experience with...

Thanks in advance.

Re: Does Anybody Make A Good 82-92 Camaro Car Cover?

Using a cover fitted to your specific car will help in keeping it in place in the wind. Avoid any universal fit cover if you can.

I've had my Wolf custom fit cover for over 25 years. Granted, it hasn't been sitting out in the elements all this time. IIRC, it's made out of some Kimberly-Clark Evolution something or other material. It fits like a glove (has mirror pockets) and doesn't blow off in the wind, even when I don't use the cable and lock. I had to cut a hole in the cover for the antenna but the cover comes with re-enforcement material for the hole (which I didn't use).

I do have a couple of cheap (ebay) universal fit covers for my old Toyota and old Acura. Both of them have restraining straps that hold both ends of the cover in place. The straps have those plastic snap buckles so once you have the straps adjusted there's no need for future adjustments. They don't last very long, though. Twelve months of constant outside exposure, max.

IMO, car covers really aren't supposed to last very long. They sacrifice themselves for the sake of your car.

I have a California car cover that I've used the last 4 years. Great quality and fits the car like a glove.

I would also recommend California Car Cover with the evolution fabric. It is a all weather material that will not trap moisture.

I also have a couple of those 20+ year old Wolf Evolution grey car covers, and I really like them. They are both still in great shape, one has even been used outside for 4 New England winters!

I recently found what I believe is the same, or very similar, fabric as the old Wolf Evolution 4 fabric from back in the 90's.

It is called "Evolution Block-it" fabric by Covercraft and it can be found here; http://www.covercraft.com/carcovers/...ar_covers.html

I did order one 2 years ago for my Impala and I am very pleased with it.

I like the fit and quality of covercraft. The material is waterproof yet still breathable so moisture will not get trapped inside.
