Re: Truck Covers- Best Place?
I have owned several different car and truck covers over the years and I have found the Budge Shield Gold truck cover to be the best for outdoor use. Here are the problems I have had with truck covers:
1) Too light weight - wear thin quickly in the AZ sun and blow off easily
2) Soft inner layer rubs off - soft sounds good but not when is sheds and leaves fuzz all over your vehicle
3) No sun protection - another too light fabric, you still need a windshield sunscreen
4) Allows rain to flow through - sounds good (breathes), but when you have
dust on your vehicle covered by a cover, then it rains, you have mud
5) Bad selller - does not stand behind product - cheated by Ebay seller hype
6) Outer surface too absorbent - bird droppings set in and don't come out.
7) Too heavy - if you lift it on and off a lot this becomes a drag, and doesn't fold up easily.
Granted, I live in the harshest climate in the world, but my guess is your place is no walk in the park.
The Budge shield truck cover will rip slightly along the edges is you let it get hooked on the bumpers by a high wind, but I learned to use small rubber coated 2" spring clips to keep the cover secure along the rocker panels.
I will sell my old gold cover someday, since I only bought it for my new trucks I have owned in the past. PM me if interested.
