I'm shopping around for a good car cover (and was hoping to not spend 200-250 bucks). I have a quote coming from bigskycarcovers.com for a Weathershield one, which I'm guessing be somewhere in the 200-250 ballpark.

Is the stock cover from Nissan any good or should I spend a bit more for a Weathershield one?

Does anyone have any other recommendations? I wanna protect my baby!

I like my factory cover. it fits good and has a little cover the antenna sits in. my car is always garaged though. it is probobally not wheather proof. it cost 165.

Oh, yah, I should have included those details. It's garaged at home, but outside at work, so I would cover it at work or when parked for a whole day outside wherever.

I got a price from bigskycarcovers.com for a custom fitted jobby in Weathershield material for $227 (which was recommended material for it's better-than-average UV, rain and dust protection and because it folds up quite complactly for storage in our enormous Z storage area).

How's that sound?

I'll check out the covers at StrictlyZ as well, thanks.

Stock Z cover: the lowest price I've seen in like 190. Where did you find it for 165, if I may ask?

Anyone with a factory cover. How the heck do you get it on the car? When I get the back end on, the front end won't stretch long enough, and vice versa. It's driving me crazy. I know its the right one, since it has a big Z on the hood.

kly

it does fit tight. I lay it on the car and get the mirrors and the antenna in the liitle covers and then it goes on pretty easy. hope that helps you.

Thanks for the reply. I put the antenna and mirrors in. Then I pulled it over the back end, and the front end isn't even close, like I can only get the cover halfway down the hood. When I go the other way, the same story. I though I was maybe tucking too much or too little underneath, but the cover sorta has marks, like the license plate cover that let you know where it goes, so I think Ive got it aligned correctly. Do you feel like you're going to rip out the elastic when you put it on? Maybe mine is made wrong, but I'm not sure.

here's a couple of pics. it is pretty tight. you can decide if yours is right or not.

I guess it didn't work. is there a special way to attatch a pic on this site. thanks, kelley

Thanks for the pic Kly. I found it took two people to put it on, with one holding the back to keep it from slipping, then put the hood all the way on, then pull the back down. I may be able to figure out how to do it by myself with some practice. If I put the back all the way down first, it's impossible to get the hood more than halfway down. How do you do it?

Thanks VQ, that may be just the ticket!

I am thinking about getting the car cover from Courtesyparts: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...Code=350Z-CVER

Is it the same car cover you guys have? Also how well does it work outside, since my car will not be garaged? The main thing that I will be concerned about is UV rays in the summer, since I live in Austin.

Thanks

I bought the noah cover for my car, and I am very pleased with the fit. The cover seems durable, and doesn't blow around in the wind. I would recommend it.

I love the Noah cover. It's easy to put on and has great coverage.

How thick are NOAH covers? Personally, i like the added protection of Kimberly Clarke Evolution Fabrics..they tend to be bulky..but they are 4 layers thick and in case some one dings it..it might absorb some of the impact energy.

I just got the all season cover from the auto parts store. For $75 Doesnt fit like the Z cover but enough.

I'm glad your cover fits, Jon. This Noah cover is incredible and I don't have to wash the car half as often

Where could I order a Noah car cover from? I have checked a few places but haven't found one yet. Thanks.
