Cavalier cover.

Post by AndyCasTig68 »

I'm thinking of buying a cover for my 1993 Cavalier Colorado. I have been told to be careful as not all covers are good for Cavalier paintwork. Does anyone know a good make as I do not have a garage.

I bought one of these for my '90 SRi that I have to store outside

I chose the eclipse range, quite expensive but a very good quality cover in my opinion. Very good fit and the inside is quite soft so doesn't mark the body :thumb
1991 H White 1.6L
1992 K Burgandy 1.6L
1989 F Lt Blue 2.0 CDI
1992 J Spectral Blue GSI2000
1995 M Black 2.0 SRI 16v Eco
1995 N Grey 1.8 GLS
1990 G Met. Red 2.0 SRi 20seh
1994 L Grey 2.5 V6
1992 J White GSI2000
So far...............

I use a Storm force cover, a breathable device which like a lot of that type of material (looks like a cloth) I find causes a lot dust on the car.
Does it's job though, mines lived outside for 25 years under a cover.
Used to use a Halfords product which was cheap enough to be replaced every year but they changed supplier and I had a nasty 'bloom' effect appear on my bootlid, complained and they promptly paid up for a respray but luckily the effect went away so a repaint was avoided.

I've only ever used very cheep covers, both from Argos I believe!
First was a breathable cover which was useless. It just let in water and kept it there basically.
Second was a non breathable waterproof cover. I thought that was very good. It kept everything dry and very clean. It did however start cracking after a year or two.
