Superweave California Car Cover Available for a SONG + shipping

It’s a frustrating story, but not too long. Soon after getting my Sky I drove it to work. On this particular day I was working at a fire station other than my own. This station has a shop associated with it. I parked in the lot and covered my Sky with my new California Car Cover.

Moments later a VERY LARGE flatbed tractor trailer arrived to haul one of our large ladder trucks. While carefully backing the trailer, the operator misjudged his front bumper that surgically slid down the driver’s side quarter panel of my covered Sky. The panel was slightly marred and the cover was neatly sliced. With a mere 1,700 miles on the car it was already headed to the body shop.

After apologizing profusely, the trucking company took care of everything without a hassle, including purchasing a new cover. I have the damaged cover and it seems a shame to just throw it away.

To repair the cover you can:
• Send it to California Car Cover and have one panel replaced
• Sew up the slice with a zig-zag stitch using soft cotton thread
• Patch the slice with iron-on fabric tape on the outside of the cover

I believe the cover will fit in one of the new USPS Priority Mail flat-rate boxes. Shipping would be $12.95. If the cover will work for you, I request that you rip an .mp3 CD of some of your favorite songs that I can play on the radio in my Sky (thanks JohnD for the idea) and cover the shipping cost.

Here are a few pictures of the cover, including the damage. You can learn more about the cover on the California Car Cover web site, Cal Cover, Inc.. This cover is made from their Superweave fabric. Retail for a new cover is over $300.00.

These are GREAT car covers, now if only I would put mine on more often!

p.s. I'm surprised that front plate of yours doesnt cut through the car cover with how sharp it looks!

To: Mirage, PM 4 Dtails. To: EndiSky, front plate

Good eye. The front plate is usually tucked under the vehicle. I am using a Dave's Corvettes front plate mount. The edges are kind of protected by the carrier, but again, the mount allowes the front plate to be slid below the front valance.

Mirage, I'll PM you about details.
