Car Covers and Wind

It has been a little windy today - great for caretaking (not too hot), but not so good for some of the car covers in the Park.  For those that have asked, I state (with some experience) the best car covers are designed for the specific car model and are made with quality materials that can withstand the Arizona sun.  Cheap, general purpose covers will not make it, and after a season or two, they start looking like this -













If you are unable to obtain a cover that's specifically made for you car, then it must be securely attached.  This wind is relentless and non-secure covers always have to be re-attached.  If you think you have enough ropes and bungee cords, then add more!

Compare the above cover to the following - specifically designed for the car.  With the right cover, only one or two bunjees (ropes) under the car is usually sufficient.













Well, that's all for today.  Just thought I ought to address the subject.
