Car cover for my 2014 convertible

Where can I get a reasonably priced car cover that actually fits my car? I just received one that was supposed to be five star on fit, but I believe it might fit an F150 as well.

It's a bit expensive, but there's nothing better than the car cover from the dealer !!! Fits absolutely perfect !!!

I agree. Factory cover from ford is THE BEST option, period.

Car covers are certainly one of those items that 'you get what you pay for'. I've learned there is no such thing as reasonable pricing for a quality cover unless the car never sees the rain and stays in the garage. Moisture/wet problems abound otherwise. If not a Ford dealer cover, get a California Car Covers product, one of the top notch models. They fit incredibly well. I know now, and my neighbor has 12 of them for every make and model car (two are Mustangs) in his collection. They are not cheap though.

tukatz...........is your car garaged? If it is, I'd suggest not having a cover as they will often create more scratches and swirls than they are worth.

I have an official Ford one that's a perfect fit, but I stopped using it after a while.

If the car is going in long term storage (say months at a time over winter) that's another matter. Just make sure the car is perfectly clean and dry before putting it on though.

I returned the cover that didn't fit as advertised and the seller paid return shipping, after a little arm twisting. My car is garaged and is a year round driver. Since I live in Western Washington, it sees rain. I doubt that I would take it out with snow on the ground. We'll just take the Accord then. I wanted the cover for road trips, but have decided to pass on it. I always take along things to clean the car and will just continue to do that. I got some deciduous tree sap on it on a recent trip, but it washed off easily. I'll just be very careful about where I park it.

Thank you all for your input. You are the kind of folks that make this forum worthwhile.
