RT-10 Car Cover Question

[Evanguil23]

Hey all! I need to buy a new car cover for my RT-10; the one I have *****! (I'm sick of dusting and wiping every time I want to drive it). I'm just looking for something with a really nice fit, that keeps it clean when it's in the garage, folds up nicely after use, and goes on and off of the car easily with one person without scratching the paint. Is that so much to ask

Any suggestions? Just go with the Mopar? Also, I have a question about the fit. I have the Mopar Deck Lid Spoiler and Mopar Double Bubble Hard Top for it. Would an RT-10 cover still fit it with these add-ons, or should I go with a GTS cover for a closer fit? Thanks, HAPPY CRUISIN!

Mopar RT/10 Cover will fit just fine, with your spoiler and double bubble...works great...

The RT/10 Cover will fit just fine; I have the MOPAR spoiler, and stock hard top, and the cover is the best.

I'd like to have one too. The one I have fits my 94 RT just right but it's not waterproof and dust filters through. I keep the car in a carport where it gets no direct rain. What do I get?

Joe,
Don't know if the stock MOPAR cover is 'Waterproof', but Griot's Garage has several that claim (probably are)to be waterproof.

I have the Mopar and it is excellent (though NOT waterproof). It is perfect for indoor use. As far as scratching the paint, whatever you buy, remember to dust (as in California Duster) off the car BEFORE you put on the cover (obviously washing will work too)! Any dirt on the car will cause scratches when you put on and remove any cover! My .02

I use covers by the California Car Cover Company. For indoor use, the flannel lined ones are what I like.

I just looked at the griotsgarage page. They seem to have what I want. They say they are breathable? Is that dust proof? I would like to hear from someone who has one and has had experience with with one for pollen/dust and water spray. Like I said, the heavy, cloth cover I have now seems to let dust and pollen filter through. Then if the cover should get a little damp from rain spray, I get splotches of dried dust when I uncover. I only have a carport so the cover will get damp with spray. If there is no rain I still need to use a duster for the filtered dust/pollen.

Joe,
Send Griot's a quick email with questions.
Also here is a site that may answer your questions and describe the covers they provide. http://www.autochic.com/

I just ordered the autochic supreme all weather, custom fit cover for my 94 RT, supposed to be their best outdoor cover. Good price, $240 +$15 to ship. I'll post a report in a couple of weeks. Thanks to the helpers.

Well, yesterday I ordered a Mopar RT-10 cover from Lawrence Roundtree at The Viper Connection. Seemed reasonably priced at $200. Anyway, it was in their add as having a blue logo. I would have preferred the red, but if that was the only way it was offered, I couldn't complain too much. Well, he told me the last one he ordered came red. Does anyone know if this is random, if they actually come red and NOT blue, or if you can choose the color of the emblem when you order? Just curious about what I'm really going to get since I thought I was stuck with blue. Thanks!

Evanguil23,

I have had both the GTS (ordered by mistake) and the RT/10 mopar covers, both were in red lettering...I'd bet it shows up in red...

 

[ruckdr]

Mine is red!

This is a follow up on the "autochic supreme all weather car cover" I bought for my 94 RT. The cover is very baggy. It fits but I haven't had a chance to see if it will stay on in high wind. It stops the dust from filtering through as I wanted. It hangs down so far on the sides that it will get dirty and then probably get dirt on the car. I guess it's ok, I just wouldn't call it a custom fit like they claim.

This is an email I received for a custom cover for an 2000 RT.

I wanted something that could be used outside that would keep the car dry in all but a BIG down pour.

I will probably be ordering it.
