Hey guys,



Just wondering how many Cobalt owners use a car cover. I have a custom car cover for my TC as I'm on an island, so salt from the ocean can ruin your pait with time. I bought one and love it. Its sized perfect for my TC. I would like to see yours and if you have a pic, even better. I'll try getting a pic of mine up soon. Thanks

I've never lived with snow. Is it snow that's bad for your car or the salt they throw on the highway?

MrRumble

My car is stored from the winter snow/salt in a secure, heated storage garage with little to no dust (good filtering in HVAC system).

I'm still curious about seeing your custom cover, would you be able to share a few photos?

Thanks!

It's the salt, which quickly rusts your car winter after winter. Even with the rust-proofing oil or wax treatment, there are bound to be crevices which begin to bubble, IME.

i think its the salt thats killer. it gets in everywhere under your car and corrodes all kinds of things.

i wanna see the custom cover too. i read about one that had the option where you could tell them whether you had a high rise or low rise wing. and of course it had mirrow cutouts that covered the mirrors but still let the rest still be form fitting to the car.

Yup the salt. Thank god I live in Ma.....oh wait.....damnit im screwed haha. Wish I had money for a winter car

^^^ I have that same cover, same color. Question, do you have a Ark Shorty Antenna? Its a great cover and what I use when I got out to sea.

i have a regular one from walmart, the only time i put it on the car is when i wash and wax it and have a meet to go to the next day or when i go on vacation for a weekend or longer. then it sits in my parents drive-way with the cover on it.. otherwise.. it's never on..

i also have to unscrew the antenna for the cover to fit.

Actually I've been running around without an antenna since day one.

40rty

LOL, nice. I unfortunetly had to make a small hole for the antenna.

samijo0703

i didn't just unscrew and shove it in the trunk. haha

I got the dust top cover for inside storage, it's soft as hell!

Being is I just purchased my cobalt about a month ago I haven't saved money yet for a cover but from first hand experience on my second car 97 Trans Am I purchased a covercraft weather guard (they are pricey about $400 custom cut). It came with a 5yr warranty. Its always on the car and out in all types of weather. Its about 1 1/2 years old and shows no sign of wear. It can be washed in a regular washing machine. Its pretty gentle on the paint (no scratches that I've seen).

The key to covers is the custom ones are the best. Anything universal may not fit well and if the cover blows around in the wind it could damage the paint no matter how soft. The custom fit ones fit fairly tight and do not allow the cover to blow around as much.

I bought mine from Walmart but it is too small because of the wing.

I keep my cobalt in the garage all winter. But i also keep it in a car capsule, which is dust free bug free and no one can bump into it or touch it while its inside. Its expensive but worth it. We keep almost all our cars in one of these during the winter.

I guess im bringing this back from the dead. I want to get a car cover since I will be traveling allot and will be leaving the car at my folks home since they live closer to the airport. I want you get your input on which is better
