Car cover

Post by eightsecblkgt »

Looking for a car cover for my 89 mclaren. What do you guys use? I found one for a Mercedes SLK 350, would that work?

I have a Covercraft Noah. They have one for the McLaren Vert. Although they don't list it on their site. When I bought mine I contacted a dealer listed on their web site, he took my info and got back to me quickly with the confirmation. It fits the asc's unique roof line perfectly.
If you get one for a standard Mustang Vert the top will have an excess amount of material as the stock roof is much longer than the asc roof.

Would you mind posting the model number if you still have the box or invoice? Is this a 4 season cover? What did it cost? Do you have any pics of it on the car? Is it special made for side view mirrors too? Thanks.

My interior bonnet fits AAA perfect, I ordered one for a Mustang Convertible and it's a perfect fit.

My car cover is also for a Mustang. Remember, the overall length & width are UNchanged from a Mustang Convertible

Nick,

Sorry I don't think I have the info any longer. It does have the pockets for the side view mirrors. I don't have any pics of the cover on the car. I'll try to take a few this weekend. I think the cost was around high $200.
I will be ordering a new one myself soon. Unfortunately mine tore by the antenna. I never installed the grommet to let the antenna poke through the cover, I just unscrewed the mast. Eventually (2.5 years) this wore through and made a hole which has now begun to tear.

No problem thanks so much for sharing the information on the car cover to begin with. I'll see if I could find out more about it however if you come across the specifics first please post it for the rest of us.

So let me get this straight, after you unscrewed the antenna mast the base plate was wearing through the car cover? I imagine one of those billet antenna stubs would correct this. Whats your thoughts? Thanks again.

Nick :)
