Recommendations for outdoor car cover for 2013 Estima


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi All,

I have a  massive  Sycamore tree right outside my drive, the branches of which overhang my drive and my beloved Estima is constantly being bombarded by pigeon droppings,  which you'd think were composed of some kind of polymerizing adhesive if you didn't know any better.

It's imply not viable for me to wash the car multiple times a day - can someone recommend a good outdoor cover that fits the Estima well, won't get blown away and won't cost the earth.

Thanks in advance.

Raja

Hi. I don’t think you require a cover, just relocate the vehicle.

Or just remove the pigeons..  🙂

TBH, a car cover is going to be a real pain to put on and off every day - and you probably won't do it if its raining. And where do you put the unsantiary thing when you fetch it off? Could you consider some sort of car port? Otherwise, there are planty of covers made to fit the Estima online. However, generally the more you pay the better they are (more layers, better materials etc etc) If you buy cheap it will probably last no more than a year or so - particularly if you are putting it on and off all the time.

As Chris mentioned, a car cover will be a pain if you drive the car daily. 

Nonetheless, if you want one, I'd recommend Halfords All Seasons Car Cover in size XL - should fit cars up to 5 metres in length. These are pretty solid with a soft lining and straps that go under the car that can be tensioned to keep the cover taut. We've had one sitting on a car here for the past two to three years in all weathers covering a bare Shell of a car. Only recently has the sharp edges of some protruding hinges and brackets worn through the cover. Very impressed by how durable it's been.
