Winter Storage
Hello everyone!
As this is my first time storing a car for winter, I thought it couldn't hurt if I wrote down my winterizing procedure here in case anyone else had some extra tips/tricks I could also try. Or at the very least help others with their list.
I'm sure there is something that I missed on the list, but hey that's what this thread is for! Last edited by Kalcorp17; 09-10-2019 at 05:55 PM. |

I have stored my car past 3 winters. Never used jackstands and never had a problem with flat spots. Inflated tires to 43-45psi.. put carpet squares under tires...dont know what tarp under car is going to achieve...the place i store my car doesnt allow to cover the entire concrete floor like that.

cbr1100xx - lol, this car means quite a bit to me.
tecboy - that's great to hear you haven't had flat spot issues because I would love the ease of leaving the car on the ground, maybe I will. Will probably put new radials on the summer list anyways. |

It’s not recommended to put the car on stands and let the suspension hang for a period of time, just what I’ve been told by a retire GM engineer. If it’s on a cement floor no need for a tarp under the car, if it was a dirt or gravel floor different story. I have never heard of putting a dehumidifier inside the car, I have never used one in 6 years of storage and it still smells new. Other than that you are good to go.

Putting the car in transport mode may lighten the load on the tender.
