I always notice though that when we get home all the car covers are no longer on the cars and just laying on the ground next to the car.. I guess they need to get a better fitting one, or find a way to secure it better.
Thanks again. |
Does anyone know if it is okay to leave the car cover on in the rain? I have heard that it will cause scratches on your car. I am not sure how true this is however.
I have the Mazda car cover, and it looks great. The inside is not lined with fannel, but the material looks smooth enough not to scratch. Thanks in advance. Brett |
For my planned Exterior Winter (snow/sleet) coverage it looks like the California Car Cover Superweave would be well superior to the Madza cover. Anyone have any similar experience?
|
Can someone post pics of the various one (Mazda, california etc.) actually on their cars just so we can see the fitment?
Thanks. |
I have no pictures and the cover has been put away, but I chose the Superweave. I keep it covered in the garage so I can't say how it holds up outside. They claim it's their top of the line cover. I purchased it because it's strong, lightweight and can be washed. Fit's great, maybe not as snug as the OEM, but snug enough. I veered from the OEM because of how tight they said it was. My cover is a bright Red to go with my car and I had them stitch 2004-RX8 (inlcuded) on the nose. I may have paid for an extra letter. They did a great job.
|
I went ahead and got the California Superweave for Winter storage. Should have it next week.
|
Any recommendations as far as size for a generic one? What are the 8's measurements. Maybe ill measure myself.....
|
got a NOAH for sale if youre interested. barely used. made specially for our cars. soft and beads water :)
|
I just picked one up at Wally Mart, I believe it was size 2 of the cheaper cover they sold, fits well and I am happy with it, my car is in the garage for the winter, cover was 20 bucks.
|
Anyone know if the Mazdagear cover fits the R3? Car Cover - K01 - RX-8
Also, how does it hold up outside? |
Be weary of where you buy your "OE" car cover. I have two Mazda car covers and one is cheaply made with no soft touch material, and the other is of high grade material.
Both came with the car I purchased though so I have no idea where they originally came from. |

Did you receive your cover? How did it turn out?

Just ordered a custom fit cover from California Car Cover. It's being made so I should have it in a couple weeks. Should fit a lot better than the OEM one I bought and sent back.
|
My guess is you did not loosen it, my OE cover fits my GT with wing and yours is not bigger than mine. It is extremely tight, but it is supposed to be.
|
I dunno man, maybe, but it was insanely tight. It was like a 300 lb dude putting on a toddler's shirt

looks like a nice cover, congrats.
just be careful putting the cover on if your car is dirty, i always wipe down the car with quick detailer before putting a cover on and do not pull the back end down over the exhaust tips. :FIREdevil: |

So, when you're ordering from their site, the form asks if you have any modifications to the exterior of the car. If you note that you have the MS bodykit like I do, how do they make sure it fits?
