Car cover

[lobo3352]

Hey Everyone,
Just signed up with this forum after I just bought my 01 white Yukon SLT literally just yesterday. So first thing's first. I live here in very sunny and rainy South Florida. I plan on taking good care of her so I'm looking for a quality car cover to take good care of my ride endearingly known as, "La Mula" (the mule). Any suggestions and where I should get it?

Love the sight, learning alot, and hope to contribute soon with at least some (boring pics). Thanks to all in advance and look forward hearing from all of you.

Welcome, I think LMC sells some covers. There are going to cost a little bit, because you want to get something with a soft inside lining to keep it from scratching your paint.

Looking good! So what mods are you planning for?

I got a cover for my yukon from Empire Covers. They give ratings for all their covers for how well it protects the car in four different categories, including sun. And there are always coupon codes floating around for that site.

Not sure if you want to go to the trouble of covering the whole car every time you park though. I think the sunshade would be a lot easier.

Never was a big fan of car covers or bras. Had a Red 75 Vette and used one, kept it clean but you could also see after a while wear on the outer perimmiter corners from the wind.

Welcome to the forums! I don't know of a good place to get one but I would just search either google or ebay for one or use the link above.

It's important that the cover be well fitted, so the wind won't do that kind of damage. In my experience the sun and water does far worst damage to the paint.
