: Armada Car Cover?

Does anyone know where I can find a high quality cover for my Mada? I'd like one that provides good UV protection, without scratching the truck?

I've been looking for a few weeks, and am surprised that Nissan does not make one, to my knowledge at least.

I'm in Tucson, and the temp is already 100+ ambient for 9 hours every day, and I imagine 130-140, easily, on the surface of my car.

I'm 6 months into ownership, with 1,300 miles, so far. What's that 200 miles per month? Haaa...I test drove it for 200 miles, prior to purchase.

Any way, any help you guys can give would be great. I just moved to a new home, that has no garage. I'm tempted to move back to my old home, for the garage alone. I never thought I would miss it, this bad.

I'm an auto detailer thick and through and I hate the fact of the truck being out in the sun, even for a few hours, let alone the 6 months it's been out.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys/gals can offer

California Car Cover - NOAH Cover.

My old cali cover for my supercrew was huge, I cant imagine how big one for the Armada would be when rolled up!!! Geez!

Here's my Armada's new home... 1300sq feet of heating and AC. :)

I bought mine the (Block it Evolution) its a really good cover,good on dust uv and 80% rain you still get a little water through but its ok saves bunch money on car wash.
What ever you buy make it custom fit with mirror pockets,dont try those easy fit ones they are small and dont fit well (very tight).
by the way they are kinda bulky when rolled up.Good luck!

The cali covers are all custom made.. mirror pockets, full length skirts to ground, and with the Noah one, its 99.9% waterproof. I have pictures of snowdrifts up and over my cali noah cover, and it was bone dry underneath. :)

After a week or so you'll stop using it.:D

Not really it is almost a year now and I still use it.
My parking spot is under a big tree (TREE SAP) plus the cover that i have is a four layer thick ding proof.:D

I've been covering my Maxima at work for the past five and a half years. Only time I don't is when it's raining, too windy, or if the car is dirty. Bought it at California Car Cover.

I can't get myself into the discipline. I use a cover if I store the car. Otherwise, I wash weekly. ;)

I wash weekly too, but my work is right next to the 405 freeway, and the car gets so dusty, just in one day. Covering it only takes a minute or two, and it keeps the car so much cleaner.

Now, if I were driving the Armada, it'd be a different story....don't think I can cover that beast quite so easily!:p

Yep you are so right! keeps it very clean,like i mention before tree sap,dust, and pollen is my enemy besides i use it for the weekend only and you could imagine how much crap builds up in a few days.

I purchased a car cover for my Z .. was the "best deal" I could find (at that time) .. considering pricing and shipping.

I don't know if they have a cover for the Armada .. LOL .. I've thought about it .. but that'd be 1 big cover .. I'd hate to put it on in any kind of windy day ..

I've used an evolution 3 car cover for 15 years on my 65 Mustang. Great car cover - lasts forever - and easy to use/store. I've used it in the northwest, northeast, mid-atlantic, and gulf coast. The same manufacturers now use Evolution 4 or NOAH depending on if you want it to be water water proof or not. http://www.carcoverworld.com/outdoorfabrics.asp has a good comparison chart.

Ya gonna put a lift in that garage? Looks tall enough. I'd have to rebuild mine to get a proper lift in it.

There are many types of breathable fabrics available. The big difference in price between the cheap covers (and tarps) and the good covers is due to the breathable fabrics. Never ever cover a car with a non-breathable cover. Condensation build-up under the cover can do lots of damage.

I have the max cover from empire its a 3 layer cover made from Tyvek developed by DuPont.
