    Van Covers

    Have any of you purchased covers for your 90 in. vans? I got one of these in the longer size so it would fit my 108, which it does, but I also used it on my 90 and there was way too much extra material. Before I buy either the std or minivan size , I'm wondering if anyone has found a cover that better matches our flat front vans.

      That's the ticket! But $400. Must be much nicer quality.

        Yeah. My CA cover didn't last long on my 2nd gen. The front hinges wore through from the pressure and wind.

ID:	443235 Bought my cover Mar. 21, 2014 , $392.39 it's still in xlnt shape but it's designed for indoor use only . And you are right the weak point is the hinges . Once had an outdoor cover on my car but that's a sad story for another time .

            I just went ahead and ordered the smaller standard van size from the same company, $73.00. I have put the larger on eon the 108 and it doesn't fit tight enough to wear out at the hinges etc. so I'll be OK for a while.

              My vans sit out side 24/7 all year long.
              Both have decent new paint jobs on them.
              I have seen covers cause more damage than they are worth.

              I have seen covers actually rub off paint on the top edges of cars kept under cover constantly.
              Good luck on you hunt to find one that fits correctly and is with in your budget.

              Its a "van thing". A life style you have to live to understand!!!!
