Bob how do the car covers werk with the antennae? Do they have a hole for them?
They give you another plastic grommet like the ones the cover comes with on the bottom, middle of the sides of the cover, (for a cable lock). You have to locate the antenna hole (best done with the antenna not on the car) and then poke a hole in the cover. Then, you cut the hole out to the size for the grommet and snap it together in the hole. Make the hole a little small, on mine the fabric tends to want to pull out from the grommet, but the hole ended up in a seam and the doubled up fabric at the seam makes the grommet not grab the fabric equally around the hole. It is the most delicate part of my cover. I have taken to pulling the grommet and surrounding cover up and over the antenna very gingerly and right at the antenna (rather than pulling on the cover from any distance away from the cover, this tugs at the grommet).
Hope this helps.
BTW, I am SURE your paint job is going to be fabulous and worth the money. Guess I managed to get a really good job at a really good price (and I thought $5K was a lot!) because of my history/friendship with the guy who did my car/runs the shop that did it. That, and I did all the stripping, priming, panel repair, first application of filler on the repair seams, seam sealing, helped with fitting the parts, etc. My guy took the car from self-etching primer and well done body work through putty coat, high build primer (that I supplied), sealer, etc. to paint and clear, wet sanding and buff. Guess I got a great deal.
BadCat,
Since my car sits in the garage, I don't expect to have to ever wash it, maybe just shake it out now and again. I assume you are talking about a cover/car that sits outside?
Regards,
Bob
