Hello folks:
Does anyone knows where can I get a Parachute Material interiors dust car cover. I need this to be light and manageable.
Thanks

I've been an FAA Master Parachute Rigger since 1967 and cannot recommend parachute fabric of any type for covering a car either interior or exterior. The treatments used on the fabric and it's stitching will flat destroy the finish if left on for any period of time.

Have you tried California Car Cover? They have a lot of different material choices and make an interior only cover:

I did but I want to actually feel the material before I order it so I sent them an email for some swatches. Let's see if they send them.

Lou,

When I purchased my cobra it came with a California Car cover, i have since sold the cover. The material was very light weight and reminded me of the fabric used in making rain fly's for backpack tents. It is very light weight. The cover that I had was very light weight and covered the cockpit. You could ball it up in your hands and I bet it could have fit in a gallon sized ziplock bag.

Lou,

I had a California Car Cover for my other Cobra that was for dust only and not outside use. It was very light and soft and easy to put on and take off.

Hi, Lou.

When I purchased my used Superformance last year, it came with an interior cover from Griot's garage. It is a light parachute type material. I think this is what you are looking for.

Thanks guys!
I will wait and see if I get the swatches samples from CA covers and I will look into the Griot's option as well. It is ridiculous I had the car full detailed monday and yesterday it looked dusty again, very frustrating. I have a Lodge brother who has the same car I have and he has the bubble but that is just for the winter rest.
