The main intention of a car cover is to protect the vehicle from harsh weather. The sun, rain and snow can severely damage the chassis of your vehicle.

It is a wiser option to buy a car cover to protect against these elements (and much cheaper than repainting the car.)

Remember that a car cover doesn't protect only your car's exterior. The sun penetrates the windows and can accelerate interior damage especially to leather. A good car cover can be found for $300 to $400, depending on the size of your car.

Spare Tire Covers

A spare tire cover is an excellent choice for those vehicles that have the tire outside the vehicle (like some Jeeps). Extreme elements can damage an unused, emergency tire, so it is a wise decision to cover it with an accessory designed for that purpose. Hard shell spare tire covers that can be locked will help to deter theft and some perform a decorative function displaying sports logos, popular characters, sayings, and the like.

Who Are The Top Manufacturers Of Covers?

Covercraft was founded by Bob Lichtmann in 1965 in California. Over the past forty years, this two-man operation has grown to 400 employees while still providing quality cover products. They have three types of pickup truck bed covers: the Low Profile Rail System, the Rail System and the Hook & Loop. The $400 Low Profile Rail System is a simple vinyl cover over the bed. The $250 Rail System uses a frame of anodized aluminum that covers the full perimeter of the bed. Finally, the Hook & Loop, is a removable polyester cover whose price varies depending on the model and brand of the vehicle.

Selecting the best protective accessory for your vehicle is a matter of balancing personal taste with budget and environmental considerations. An Undercover truck bed cover is an excellent choice, but it is expensive relative to other models. Fiberglass truck bed covers are a cheaper option, but will not offer the same level of protection. Invest wisely and research available pickup truck bed covers to make the best choice for you and your vehicle.
