Comparison
Custom-fit vs universal car covers
A custom-fit car cover is made for one car model, so it sits snug with pockets for the mirrors and covers wheels to roof. A universal cover is a general size that fits many cars loosely. For a car parked outside, custom-fit is the better choice because a snug cover stays on in wind, keeps water out and does not rub the paint. DN Car Covers makes model-specific covers.

When a universal cover is enough
A universal cover can work for a car parked for a short time in a covered spot, or as a temporary measure. For daily outdoor parking in rain, sun and dust, a loose cover is less effective because wind lifts it and water and dust get underneath.
When to choose custom-fit
- The car is parked outside, on the street or in open apartment parking.
- You want protection from monsoon rain, strong sun and dust.
- You want a cover that stays on in wind and is easy to put on.
