It's Time For A New Car Cover

This week I'm going to talk about when you can tell it's time for a new car cover. There are many covers made today and they all have there time for replacement. When you buy a car cover they come with a warranty and this warranty will cover the material, tie down grommet, UV and waterproof protection as well as the seams and elastic hem in the front and back. If any of these has a problem during the warranty period you should contact the seller or manufacturer and inquire about a replacement. So I'm going to explain what your warranty will cover and when you should replace your cover after the warranty has run out and the cover is showing signs of wear.

First let's talk about the warranty, all warranties vary from type of cover and manufacturing company. (1) Material: the warranty will cover any type of defect in the material under normal use. (2) Tie down grommets: Covers that come with tie down grommets will be covered under the warranty for defects under normal use. (3) UV and Waterproofing: Car Covers come with different types of protection, some are rated low for the UV and water protection and others are rated high for this protection. The warranty will cover you based on which cover you bought and the UV and Waterproof treatment as per each cover type. It should provide the UV and Waterproofing for the covered time under the warranty time period. (4) Seams: This means that seams shouldn't come apart during the warranty time period under normal use. (5) Elastic Hems: Most Car covers come with elastic hems to help keep the cover on your car, they shouldn't lose there elasticity or come apart under normal use. All these warranties vary and are up to each company as to how they will handle and respond to there claims.

Now to the cover that needs replacement after the warranty has run out. Most if not all car covers will out last there warranty period, So you need to take a close look at your cover at the end of each season and check for wear and problems that will cause the cover to stop protecting your vehicle. The first thing is checking to see if the material is still in good shape and still protecting your car from the environment. Like is it still preventing the rain to penetrate the cover, and also stopping the UV rays from damaging your finish and interior. The best way is to first clean your cover to get all the dirt off from this past season, check your site where you purchased it for cleaning instructions. Then put the cover on your car and let it completely dry. Then taking your garden hose and simulate a rain storm don't stand close and blast the cover just let the rain fall on the cover. After you have done this then check if the cover is still stopping the rain from getting to you cars finish. If you find that water is coming through the cover it is time to replace it. To check for UV protection is a bit tricky, take the cover after you have cleaned it and let it completely dried remove it from the car and on a sunny day stand under it and look towards the sun for weak spots in the material where the sun can come through to damage your car. If you see weak spots or thin spots then you should replace the cover. Checking the seams is easy to do just follow each seam and look for damage or sewing coming apart, if you can repair this great if not you may want to replace the car cover. To check the elastic hems check to see if they will still stretch and retract and if they still hold the car cover tight under the front and rear of your vehicle, if they are getting all stretched out or loose and not able to hold your cover securely to your vehicle I would suggest replacing the cover before the next big wind, having a loose cover can damage your finish by rubbing on it. One last thing to check is the tie down grommets located along the bottom hem in the middle of your vehicle cover. Check to see if they are still tight in the material and not beginning to pull out of the cover. These tie down grommets are a great help to keep your car cover on during and windy condition. You can use the cable lock or a bungee cord to secure your car cover.

Well I hope this will help to maintain your car covers and to keep then in good shape for the protection of your investment may it be your car or other vehicle. If you think I may have left out something please comment on this article and let me know and I will respond to your comment.

Car Covers After The Hoildays

Well the holidays are here and will soon be over, If you were lucky and received a vehicle cover as a gift, the first thing you will want to do is try it on your car or other vehicle. If you need to return the cover, our company and other company's require it must be clean and include all the paper work that was sent with it. So, before you run out to put your new cover on your vehicle, please take the time to wash it and then when it is dry try the cover on for size. Then once you have the cover on the vehicle check to see if it fits correctly. Make sure the cover fits the vehicle from front to back without being too loose and covers from the bottom of the frame up.

There are many types of covers out there from custom to one size fits all. If you received a custom cover it will have mirror pockets for the mirrors and fit the car or other vehicle like a glove, if it does not fit like a glove then you didn't get the right cover for your vehicle. Once again make sure the vehicle is clean before you try it on. If there is a lot of loose material then you will want to check with the company you have purchased this cover from to make sure it is the right cover for your vehicle. A lot of companies like ours give you up to 30 days to return the cover clean and with all the paper work for a refund or exchange. Most times the company will not need your receipt for the cover to be refunded or exchanged, they will have the purchases on file and all you will need is the buyer name or your name if the buyer used your name as the ship to address.

Most covers today are semi custom covers and they don't have mirror pockets and will not fit like a glove, that's OK, the semi custom cover still does the same job as the custom cover. Once again before you try the new semi custom cover on your vehicle make sure it is clean and dry before you check the cover for size and fit. The cover will have elastic around the bottom in front and back and also have tie down holes in the middle so you can secure the cover in windy conditions. These tie down holes are also good for the use of a cover cable lock to keep people from taking your cover. This cover will not fit like a glove but at the same time shouldn't be so loose that the cover flaps in the wind. This will cause the cover to wear out quick and may damage your paint job by excessive rubbing.

There is one more thing that I would like to bring to your attention that is the antenna patch. Almost all covers come with an antenna patch, this patch will help the cover from coming apart when you make a hole for the antenna. To find the location for the antenna hole first place the antenna all the way down ore if it unscrews take it off, then put the cover on the vehicle (after you have washed it right?). Then find the place where the antenna will come through the cover and make a small hole. The smaller the hole the better, then take the antenna patch and press one on the inside of the cover and the other on the outside. This patch is a stick on, not an iron on, so don't try to iron this patch as you will melt the cover and damage it. The patches have a protective cover over the sticky part, you must peal the cover off and then stick the patch over the small hole. Then remove the cover and replace the antenna or leave the cover on and raise the antenna through the new hole with the patches in place.

I would like to say to all. I hope that you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope you got all the things you asked for, and if Santa didn't bring you a vehicle cover this year.

Winter Car Covers

This time of year it is a good idea to cover your vehicle. The wet and cold weather can be very hard on your car or other vehicle. If you live in the Eastern part of the country your will receive many benefits from covering your vehicles. Likewise living in the Western part of the country you will also receive benefits from covering your vehicles. The weather can be hard on your vehicles in both parts of the country.

First we will talk about the Eastern part of the US, covering your vehicles can save you money and time. When you have a snow storm that covers your car it is hard to clear the snow and ice from your windows, and the doors may freeze shut making it a real job to get in your car and go to work or other destination. The window wipers sometimes stick to the windows and when you go to scrape then the wiper rips apart costing you money and time getting new wipers. If you cover your car with the Elite Car Cover made for the environment you live in you will not have to scrape your windows or try to thaw out the door locks to get in. You won't have to replace your wiper blades because they have ripped from sticking to the window due to the ice and snow. A vehicle cover will save you time and money.

Now living in the Western part of the country there are a lot of states that also receive snow this time of year. If you are in the lower states that are still getting the sun most of the time you will still want to cover your vehicle. Dealing with snow can cost you time and money like I said before. Living in the Western part of the country you will have more UV rays to hurt your car and other vehicles. The UV rays from the sun will damage your finish and dry out the interior of your vehicle. Things like plastic and cloth will dry out and start to crack and fall apart and your dash will fade and crack and this will hurt the of the vehicle when you go to sell it.

There is one thing that I would like to bring up; even in both parts of the country there is a cover that will help this time of year. This cover is the iCover or half cover. This cover is easy to install and take off and covers only the top part of your car or SUV. It has many uses in that it will keep the snow and ice off your windows, it will keep the suns UV rays out of the interior and keep your valuables out of sight keeping them safe from thieves. The new iCover has become the gift of choice this year in car covers. It has a price that keeps with the economy we are now dealing with. So if you are looking for a great gift for somebody you care about this year, this is the one.

The things to look for when buying a vehicle cover; 1st is location, what part of the world are you in, is it hot and sunny, is it cold and wet? These are very important things to think of when you are looking for a cover. If you live where it is hot and sunny there are covers that are better for that condition. For instance, the Tyvek Cover is the best for UV protection and is also water resistant. However, if you where live were it rains and snows there are covers for those conditions as well. For instance, the three and four layer covers that are waterproof and provide complete protection from the sun and the wet environment.

The good thing about checking the size with the company is, if they make a mistake and send you the wrong size cover they will pay the shipping charge to exchange it.

After you have decided on the location and size of the cover you should then see about the warranty. Every cover has a different warranty. Some are short, like the one layer covers that are for indoor use, then there are covers with long warranties, from 3 years to life of the cover. Make sure you read the fine print as many of these warranties only cover factory defects and not much more. Next you should read the companies shipping policy and see how they ship their products, USPS, UPS, FedEx etc. Then see how fast there turn around time is, i.e. how many days from the order to your door step. If you would like more information about the company there is a page called "About Us" this page gives you a brief description about their company and the goals they are trying to reach.

The New Top Half Car Cover Gains Popularity

The top cover is the new "I've got to have" in car covers. The top cover is beginning to gain popularity, this cover has many uses and can be installed and removed with little effort. Just this last year this cover was first placed on the open market and since then has become the "I've got to have" cover. If you haven't seen or heard about this cover I want to let you know what it's about.

Sometimes when you are putting on your full size car cover, I am sure you are thinking there must be a better way to just cover your vehicle windows and hide your valuable possessions. For instance, when you go out shopping our just want to keep your car cool during the hot summer days, and also during the winter when you're tired of scraping your windows in the morning before you go to work. Well, somebody had the same thought and came up with the top cover.

This cover simply covers the top half of your car, it is made of a super tough material, and its light weight with UV and waterproof protection. The cover is very easy to install on your car, it just takes a few minutes to put on and take off. That is one reasons people have started to love this cover. The second reason, the protection and heat reduction the cover provides. The cost of the top cover is very reasonable compared to a full size car cover, although it is not quite half the price of a full cover, only because there are a lot more elements to this cover.

Well, you can take it from me that this cover is becoming a must have cover even if you already have a full size cover. If you are storing your vehicle for any length of time the full cover is a good choice, but when you are just out shopping or out on the town and even for a day trip somewhere, the top cover is great to have in your trunk for a quick solution to protect your valuables and cut down on the heat in your car.
