Default Indoor Car Cover

Hi guys. I just changed from using the Porsche outdoor car cover, to the indoor one. The feel of the inside material, that ends up touching the car feels sooo soft, much better compared to the outdoor cover! The issue I found is that the fit is very tight. Especially around the front of the car. I was weary of continuing to pull down so the lower front could be covered.

Has anyone else found these covers a very tight fit? Any problems?

I am using the same cover on my 2010 C4S. It does fit tightly, but not too tight. The thing I don't like too much is having to bend in one of the mirrors quite a bit in order to put it on. I also had to replace it (under warranty, of course) after two months because it developed a slight tear in the material in the rear license plate area.

Rumartin: Try starting installing the cover in the center of the car, one mirror, the other, and then front or back. I did not have trouble with the mirrors.

That is how I do it as well. If you have a cab, I fan the cover from the back to get the cover material to the back of the car - it doesn't slide on the cab top very well.

Bought it @Momentum in Houston, veeeeery expensive, $371.51, especially after seeing Sunset's price, but I was already there, so went ahead and paid their price.

Not sure about aero kit, call Sunset parts...
