Carcover or not?

My garage isn't heated but dry, could there be a problem using a carcover in the winter?
Wouldn't like the interior to get messed up due to humidity. :eek2:

A quality car cover will be made of a  material that "breathes" for this purpose.  If you are going to be using a plastic tarp as a cover, then thats when you should worry about moisture trapping inside....

I now have the "AirChamber" but also covered mine with no issues.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I sure would like a cover thats not breathable and is waterproof.  Just can't seem to find a good one . . .  :shruggy:

Bought this one for my Mustang convertible that sits outside.  While its not "form fitted" (its a universal fit) it does a very good job of keeping the car dry....

Try california car covers for inside and outside covers.

mine are in a non-heated garage as well...and they have covers on them...breathable fabric

Keep the windows 1/2" down and you can always use a dehumidifier (dunno if I wrote that OK) and put that in the trunk or so....

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

Do they even make a cover like that?   You dont want moisture to get trapped under the cover.

I want the cover for travel only.  I have breathable covers for inside storage.  Seems that everytime I go to an overnight show, it rains at night and I get up to a wet and dirty car.  Any dirt that was on the cover is now on the car . . . .  :brickwall:    If it was truely waterproof . . car would still be clean and dry.  I don't think any mold or mildew is going to start within the 12 hours that the car is covered.   :shruggy:
