When it comes to protecting your vehicle, traditional outdoor car covers often fall short — literally and figuratively. Most covers are loosely fitted, hanging halfway down the tires with an elastic band, leaving them vulnerable to wind, dust, and pests. I've seen them blow off in windstorms, watched raccoons scamper beneath covered cars at 2am, and winced while watching owners wrestle their covers into position. Even stored indoors, our covered 1961 Bugeye Sprite has been affected by mice, birds, and the occasional chipmunk. The CoverSeal car cover is different, and you might even say that it changes the game. Its innovative design features a 360-degree weighted bottom ring that seals to the ground. This offers extra vehicle protection against dirt, inclement weather, and, most importantly, rodents and other pests that can cause serious damage.
A Step Beyond Traditional Car Covers
“I created CoverSeal after experiencing expensive rodent damage, not once but twice to the same vehicle,” said CEO Ken Huening. “After trying all the other commercially available solutions of repellents, noise makers, poison, and traps, I found many had shortcomings that didn’t stop the damage. Coverseal was invented to provide not just a deterrent but an active barrier."
Unlike typical vehicle covers that barely reach the middle of the tires, CoverSeal extends all the way to the ground, thanks to its unique 45-50-pound weighted ring at the bottom. This design not only keeps the cover securely in place during windy conditions but also creates a tight seal that prevents debris and pests from getting underneath, which effectively solves for Huening's frustrations.
Traditional covers often require additional straps or bungee cords to stay in place, but they still allow gaps that can be easily breached by rodents. CoverSeal’s design solves these issues, offering a level of protection that standard outdoor and indoor covers can't accommodate. Huening adds, "I wanted something that was easy to use and functional. CoverSeal is about enhancing the protection qualities of a standard cover. The elegant and simple addition of the patented weighted apron prevents rodent entry and has several collateral benefits that other covers cannot match. The weighted apron keeps the cover on the car, and prevents dust, spiders, and other pests from getting under the cover thus preserving the function, beauty, and value of the vehicle.”
CoverSeal is made from heavy-duty, water-resistant polyester with ripstop fabric. And, it's a UV-resistant car cover that reflects up to 90% of sunlight. This helps safeguard the vehicle’s paint, windows, and tires from sun damage, fading, and other environmental factors. It’s also lab-tested to withstand winds up to 40 mph, ensuring that the cover remains in place during even the most challenging outdoor elements.
Why Rodent Protection Matters
One of the most common complaints among vehicle owners, particularly those who store their cars for long periods, is rodent damage. Mice, rats, and other pests are notorious for finding their way into car engines, chewing on wires, and causing extensive and costly repairs. Traditional car covers do nothing to keep these critters out. CoverSeal, on the other hand, forms a true seal around the vehicle, effectively blocking access for rodents and other pests.
FAQ
How does the weighted bottom of CoverSeal compare to other outdoor covers?
Unlike lightweight covers and universal car covers that easily blow away, CoverSeal features a 360-degree weighted tube filled with sand along the bottom edge. This weighted ring creates a secure seal against the ground, offering excellent protection from strong winds, dirt, bird droppings, and pests. The durable materials used in CoverSeal ensure it stays in place, unlike many traditional outdoor covers.
Can CoverSeal protect my vehicle in extreme weather conditions?
Yes, CoverSeal is constructed from heavy-duty, water-resistant fabric, designed to withstand extreme weather conditions including strong winds up to 40 mph. Its design prevents moisture buildup and mildew buildup, issues that are common with other covers, such as cotton covers and custom-fit car covers. Additionally, the reflective surface reduces sun damage, making it ideal for both outdoor and indoor protection.
Is CoverSeal a custom-fit car cover, and will it take up a lot of storage space?
While CoverSeal is not a custom-fit car cover, it is designed to fit a wide variety of vehicles, from sports cars to long-bed pickup trucks. Whether it's a Jeep, a Bentley, or a Tesla, there's a size that will work. Its unique design provides excellent protection without the need for a perfect fit. Despite its premium protection features, CoverSeal doesn’t take up much storage space when not in use, making it a convenient and versatile option compared to other nice covers on the market.
How does CoverSeal handle moisture buildup compared to other covers?
CoverSeal’s design allows air circulation while preventing moisture buildup that is often seen with traditional covers. The loose-fitting structure lets water drain naturally, which helps avoid issues like mildew buildup common in more tightly sealed or cotton covers. This makes CoverSeal not only a great outdoor cover but also an ideal solution for vehicle storage in various environments.
