What are you guys using for car covers?? Brand, etc. Mine is topless, but thought some you guys that don't even own a top use one.

I know California Car Covers makes custom ones, but being topless it may not fit.

haus · 08-02-2008, 06:56 AM

i'm curious too... it would be SO much easier to throw a cover on instead of the top.

bouncytruck · 08-02-2008, 11:01 AM

I'm using the garage.

Prior to that, I just would put the soft top up every night.

Same as gary, I used a swb truck cover, mine was made by wolf.

Beware though, most ARE NOT water 'proof', if that's what your looking for, buy a tarp.

I was looking at the stormweave, but I will have it on mostly in the garage. But at a show I want one that is waterproof.

Sounds like a really nice one, just don't mis-interpret their use of the term "water resistant", even though it states 'highly', it's not going to keep the rain out for long.

5150 · 08-03-2008, 06:54 AM

yeah, I need to find one that is waterproof. The tub will be line-x'd, but don't want to replace the leather seats and radio

I hear ya...

The problem with an actuall waterproof cover will be that it won't breath and therefore is almost worse.

There are water proof/breathable materials out there but could you imagine paying for an all 'Gortex' car cover.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-03-2008, 10:03 AM

I usually carry a tarp around with me as it rain all the damn time in oregon.. If is waier proff you want at a show what about a little pop-up tent. The tent would help keep your blazer from bakeing at the show and keep the rain out of the inside.... Just make sure you use some to attach the pop-up to the ground..

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 08-03-2008, 10:23 AM

I have a tarp I take with me to car shows I have it rolled up it works fine if it their not to much wind. If there is to much wind but the tarp over the truck a drive the front tires over the tarp to hold it. I have some tent stakes for the back and sides.

Long Roof · 08-03-2008, 11:20 AM

Doesn't sound like anybody is using a blazer specific cover. Does anyone sell one?

My Jimmy spends winter outside so mama can have the garage bay. I want to have a car cover to put over it and then I will cover it with a tarp for sun/snow protection. Tarps alone really suck as they are very harsh on the paint (although mines only a 20 footer)

I got mine form a distributor in Chicago-land area- It's a Wolf- Blazer specific- even came with a grommet for the radio antenna if I had wanted to cut the hole- it was easier to take the antenna off.

I also used it when I had the top off, but I don't have any pics of it with the top off, so here's a pic of it with the cover on and top off!

The cover is on as the Blazer is going to it's new home.

I have one of these covers for my '66 Impala. I like it. My blazer sits in my garage with my motorcycle so I don't have a cover for it yet.

Kleantouch · 08-07-2008, 10:30 PM

Yes it's at a new home with a new owner. Cost of the cover was in the $220range. Wolf makes them out of a lot of different materials for whatever you want it to do.
Good luck.

Long Roof · 08-07-2008, 08:11 PM

Do you have a rough idea on price?

Sweet blazer! Is its new home with a new owner?
