Car covers
I've already searched but can't find what I'm looking for.
Has anyone used one of the gen 6 GM car covers for indoor use? I had the black ZL1 indoor cover for my 5th gen and I foolishly sold it with the car. The outdoor cover looked nice, but is it fleece lined like the indoor one? Are there graphics on all of them? Since it's a 2017 I'm getting, the FIFTY cover may even work. Anyone used that one or the red indoor one? Any pics or info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for posting a picture! Does that cover have a lining inside?

This is the one I picked up...
http://www.chevymall.com/2016-2017-C...uctinfo/AK961/ Fit and finish are perfect. Fleece type (very micro fiber-ish) inner liner. Only downfall to this cover, for me, was the time it took to get it - I guess they are made to order.

I think so....I will double check when I get home form work....I could be wrong... I have the OEM black outdoor cover on my '16 vert..... I can shoot some pics of that if you need.....and check for a liner in that one also... I have five cars covered right now.... hard to remember which covers have liners.....

Thanks HyperBlue!
I really like the ZL1 specific cover. The 5th gen had more options. There were 2 outdoor and 1 indoor that were ZL1 specific. This time it's just one outdoor. They also have 2 different "Fifty" covers which sort of apply to us.

It's an outdoor cover but if it rains, water collects in two areas: on the trunk because the spoiler is higher than the trunk and doesn't run off and on the heat extractor gap between the insert and the hood. Not a big deal but annoying. The cover is extremely hydrophobic and otherwise water just rolls off. If you plan on using it for an indoor only cover, not a problem. The other issue which is a bit more annoying is that because it's a tight, custom fit, the cover rubs against the paint between the doors and the roof; specifically toward the back by the rear windshield. I noticed it when I was washing my car and had to get it corrected. I don't ever put the cover on when the car is even remotely dirty/dusty so to be honest I can't really confirm this issue. The detail shop hypothesized that it was the most likely culprit. Hope this helps!

Cover craft is what I have, it's a very very nice cover. Was not cheap though.

Thanks for the info on the lining. Leaning towards one of the indoor covers. Wish I had kept the one I already had. Doh!

Which one do you have from Cover Craft? I have a Noah fabric cover, which I like because it's multi layer with a soft lining and it protects against dings. What I sort of don't like about it is that it seems to leave residue on the paint, especially if it gets wet. I'm looking for a new outdoor cover and am considering one of the Weathershields.
