Noah® brand car cover...opinions...

Poorboys Rules!
I'm looking for some expert opinions here. Now that we have 3 cars...and a 1-car garage...I'm looking for a good cover for our 2001 GT Mustang as it is now sitting outside not being driven too much. With spring/summer coming it will get driven more, but it'll always be sitting out so I want a good cover to protect it from the elements. I know, I know...why not put the stang in the garage, right?...sorry but the black SUV gets the garage as it's much harder to maintain.:passout:

I've done a bit of research and it seems that the Noah brand cover is my best bet for the price range that I can afford.

Does anyone here have a Noah® cover and is it good? Has it held up well? Protected your car well? Do these covers give any protection from hail??

Any other brands, possibly cheaper, that do just as well?

As I said, it will be sitting outside so I need a cover that holds up well to rain, tree sap, etc.

I want to cry right now because my neighbors tree is dropping sap, pollen and leaves all over it. Even though I've done a decent job of protecting the paint with wax, I desperately need to get a cover on her...or just keep hoping and praying that their tree falls down:rofl That'd really make me happy. All of my cars suffer from sap from that d*** tree.:wall

Any opinions on covers...please let me hear them. I need one badly and will be ordering one from Autogeek real soon.
 
Plus one big time on Noah covers, I've had two and both have been excellent!

What I liked is they are made for the car and fit real well, I can't say that about all the car covers I've had.

For protection they are OK there is still going to be some dirt that get on the car, but the tighter the fit the less you will see of this
 
I have a Noah cover and a cheaper one. The Noah fits my truck like a glove...maybe too well since it is a pain to put on. Without two people doing it, it mars paint plus the paint needs to be clean too. It seems well constructed but I ended up parking my truck in another location (not under a pine tree) so I use the cover a lot less (hassle, marring risk).

The cheaper one (Summit?) used on a sedan does not fit very well (sell like 4 sizes) so it I had to use bungees to hold on it since it would come up in any wind.
 
Noah is the material name - made by Kimberly Clark that cover companies use.

I prefer the Evolution 4 material because it's 4 layers thick (which helps with door ding protection), but Noah, at 3 layers, is less bulky when you roll it up and store it.

Noah is a great way to go. Just make sure you buy custom fit with mirror pockets instead of a universal fit, and buy the cable/lock to keep the cover from being stolen.
 
Thanks forrest...just realized you're from St. Louis. Whereabouts? I'm up in Florissant.
 
Down in South County.

At the office we have about a dozen covers - some indoor only (Dustop material) and the rest are Noah. All are custom fit by Covercraft.

But, I prefer E4. Parking at the airport means lots of inconsiderate folks banging doors, so I like that extra amount of protection that comes from 4 layers over 3.
 
I store 2 Fox Mustangs outside year round in Michigan weather because my garage is too small just like yours. I've had good results with the Noah covers, they work decently well especially when new but do wear out over the course of 2-4 years. I have replaced one of mine and the other is getting to the point of needing replacement. When they get worn out they let dust through when it rains and then start leaving lint all over the car.

When the covers are new I can pull them off and the cars are clean. As they age dust and dirt work their way on to the paint when it rains. A QEW or wash removes the dirt/dust and I don't notice any major scratching. Over the course of a winter the wind blowing on the cover will mar my front fenders a little on the edges but it polishes off easily.

Like the others said get the custom fit cover with the mirror pockets, they fit much better and there is much less chance of the cover blowing off. I use a cable underneath the car to secure mine.

I started out using the cheap Budge covers from the local auto parts chain and worked my way up to the Noah. It's like night and day over the cheap covers. At just over 200 bucks the Noah is cheaper than a garage addition.

Not sure how they will work with the hail. Should offer some protection. Maybe you could put a cheap cover over the Noah to absorb the tree sap.
