I'm in the market for a nice indoor only car cover for the GT and I'm wondering what all of you are using and your opinions.

My most important goal is to have a cover that is heavy enough to protect the paint from the ocasional bump my son gives it with his toys.

I was looking at 928 Specialist and Griots as to potential places to buy.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I like those Evolution 3 covers...
Have like 4 layers of something quilted/pressed together and work pretty well.
The Noah is almost the same, but very lightweight/not as thick...the wind can move it easier.

Where do you find these?

I need at least two indoor covers.

It might be more than you are looking for, but if I had a son with toys in the garage, this is what I'd be using.

I have California Car Covers on both Porsches and my Model A.....They fit nice, have a soft undercover and are easy to wash once a year to get rid of the accumulated dust. And with the soft underlining will handle an occasional bump from a toy or door.

I've been using comforters (you know, the kind you sleep with) - california King Size. They're soft, plenty of padding, washable and fairly inexpensive - especially when the wife decides to replace them all and now you're faced with the delima of what to do with the old ones.

The damage-from-doors challenge in the garage can easily be lessened by adding one or two foam 'noodles', the kind they sell as kids' pool toys. Or get some of the stiffer pipe insulation from H-D, over a stick of PVC, with an elastic cord down the middle for support. Hang it off the car at ding-height for protection.

Hang a cheap inflated air mattress on the side of the car that is exposed to potential bumps. You can get 'em most anywhere for under 10 bucks.

Or just lock the garage door and don't share the key with the kids. I know the 'fair trial before execution' rule applis to your kids, so it's better to just avoid the damage crime in the first place.

In my limited experience, a car cover alone, even one of the fancy four-layer covers, won't give you any reliable protection from errant doors. They do save some casual scratches from butt rub-ups, but not good for a lot more. I keep one on the car when I'm gone on business to protect it from sunlight as much as anything. My single-layer indoor cover still seems to accumulate dust. Not so much as it won't come off with the duster, but no show-shine clean no matter how clean it was put up. Covers are OK, but you'll need to manage your expectations some.

You should drain the gas, disconnect the battery, and cancel the insurance and turn the plate in. Then just build 2x4 walls around the car before entombment. Leaving a door to get in there is optional, but the car will be safer if there is no access. Leave a few mouse traps in there, and take a few last pics of the car to remember it by and use them as screen savers.


















just kidding!!!

I think I'll try here: http://www.coversolutions.com/wolf_c...FQYdswodd1EHtw

Dammit you guys made me go hit the search engine to find it...

I got two at Griots, a Noah cover and a Weathershield cover and use them together. The noah cover stays clean and dry under the Weathershield cover.
Griots??? Get your wallet out; not too cheap but always good or better.

I have a Wolf Noah custom fit for my S4 - great product, couldn't be happier with it. The car cover is my garage.

If I was going to cover the car inside a garage only, I might consider the Wolf Dustop custom fit. The Noah is certainly not a rough material, but the Dustop is perhaps softer against your baby's skin.

I'll post some photos tomorrow so you can see how the Wolf 928 custom pattern fits. (it's dark outside now)

Thanks for the suggestions and links!

Carl, judging by the way your first post was written I think you may have contemplated doing that. I just came back from a nice drive down to Plymouth. Great night to get the car out and traffic wasn't too heavy either, no way I could put it into a bunker and not drive it!

The Wolf Dustop product looks really nice and runs around same price as others. Anyone know if the 928 Specialist covers are the same thing? I'd rather give them the business if their covers are the same but otherwise I may go for the Wolf cover.

Regarding door dings, I'm furtunate enough to have plenty of space between my car and my wifes truck so I don't have to worry about this. My worries are the ocasional foam ball, the plastic lunch box or the pedal car that may bump the rear bumper or the side of the car. My sons pretty careful but he's starting to have friends over and I don't want to take any chances.

The best door ding protection I have found is to nose in the car on the right and back in the car on the left. Problem solved
