[Supras] Car covers?

[Hacker J]

I think it was mainly my carelessness over many years, I would basically roll the cover up on the hood like a sleeping bag by pulling it forward.  As it was dragged forward it would rub against the mirrors. I never noticed it until last year, and by then the damage was done.  I am still daily driving it and so the cover is coming on and off every day for most of the year.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the reply! Do you know of anyway I can prevent that rub off
to occur? Do you think a more expensive brand might be less abrasive to
the paint? I just had my Supra painted so I am very concerned about the
clear coat coming off, had 3 coats of it put on.  

Thanks,

Tom,

I've used the Costco car covers for many years now.  The seem to last
about 2-3 years here 
in Southern California before the sun breaks the fabric down. They are
not custom, but the 
fit of the large size seems to be a pretty close match to the Supra.
The only issue I have 
is that repeated removal of the cover has worn the clear coat off the
paint on the mirror 
surfaces that 
contact the cover.

Jon
