Now that I actually have a garage to store it in, my Focus is going inside over the winter. I bought a universal cover about a year ago when it looked like my friend was going to let me store my car in his dad's warehouse (they ended up partitioning the extra space and leasing it so I never used it until now), it covers most of the car but I have to choose between leaving either half of both bumpers exposed, or covering all of one or the other. And it doesn't quite make it to the bottom of the car, it stops roughly halfway between the door trim and sideskirts.
Any suggestions? I'm mostly concerned with keeping dust off the car as like I said, it will be inside from now until April/May except for occassionally rolling it out to run the engine for a bit. I'm not looking for something you'd throw on a show-grade car...I'd say my budget is ~$100-150. Thanks in advance! e: Mods, feel free to move this if you think it belongs in the exterior subforum... |

do a couple searches in the exterior forum. I think there was recommendations for a cover there. If not, I found mine while researching on google. I cant remember the name at the moment, but if you want me to find out, shoot me a PM.

to be honest and as horrible as it sounds walmart has decent car covers just to keep dust off only (which is all your looking to do) in all kinds of sizes for 20 bucks. I use one to cover my mustang and thats a decent sized car.

Go over to www.covercraft.com & review their model & material types and pick the color & material you want..... they have both custom-fit & generic size fit. PLUS, YOU can add any logo you want for a few $$ more.
I got a custom fit "Noah"with the extension to fit over my radio antenna as-is, side mirror pockets, & with the "focus" logo stitched on the front. You can buy direct from the covercraft: They have an on-line "outlet store" with overstock prices w/deep discounts & very reasonable shipping charges. {they are out in Oklahoma} I have bought every car/truck cover and front face bras direct from them- great fit & quality material!!! Also, great after-the-sale customer service!!! Just take extra care when washing their covers & air dry them only. Last edited by 4rd Toys; 11-27-2008 at 04:52 PM. |

I bought one for my car from Pep Boys. Can't remember for the life of me which one it was, but I left the car parked outside for 2 months and it was 99% still clean. It didn't have the antenna deal, so I just pulled mine off, and found out the radio works fine without the antenna. And it doesn't have the side view mirror pockets so it only covers half the door also. I bought one size larger than what was shown as recommended since the one that was supposed to fit the Focus only fit one bumper. The one size larger wraps around both bumpers just fine and since most of the debris comes from the top, the only spots on the car were from a little bit of water that had run off and dripped on the door in 2 spots on the lower half.
