Car Covers

Cool. And when you say roof rack, you don't just mean the cross bars, but an actual rack/basket/etc on top? Either way, I'm going to order a custom fit one.

Thanks - Bart

Yeah, I just meant something like the stock roof rack/cross bars. I suppose a person could request a custom, custom cover made to accommodate a basket on top depending on how difficult it is to take the basket off though, so that would be up to you.

My guess would be that the cover I have was made simply for a VX with no roof rack/cross bars installed (since they were a factory option), but it's still fit down over the side view mirrors with no need for further adjustment even with the extra inches of additional height of the roof rack/cross bars and a Thule wind deflector assembly attached to the front cross bar.

I have way too much experience with car covers, and have found that I get the best fit from California Car Cover Company. (I bought one from Wolf for my Mustang, and all four corners ripped as it was being installed.) I had been using the Stormweave for many years, and then the Noah, but they both allow the water to wick through, leaving a heavy dust on the surface, which required car cleaning before I could drive. The latest cover I bought is the Superweave material, which is very thin, light, and water resistant. Now I can remove the cover and just drive, without having to break out the duster. It also folds up into a smaller bundle that fits easily in a small bag. The only disadvantage is that it is so light that it can easily blow off, so I also bought their Gust Guard clamps, which work great. CCCC has covers for the VX with and without a rack, as well as modified models.

Bart - I bought THE BEST car cover from CA Car Company for the year I lived in Phoenix; as it turned out, I found a place in the shade to park it, so it only got used twice. I paid $371 for it custom made for the VX; I don't anticipate using it anymore. I'd sell it to you for $200 even; lemme know if that'll work for you. It fits around the bottom VERY tightly; NO way it'll blow off! I also got the "rope things" for the bottom, and the bag for the cover. Email me at ganzman@cox.net

If Bart doesn't take it, I sure would be interested. Which fabric is it?
