Towing your Cobra....cover or no cover?

[Venom 427]

Terry,

I towed a cobra from Florida to Carlisle 2 years ago. I had the same concerns. So I started with a quality soft weatherproof cover and tied it down to the car. After about 2 hours we stopped and noticed that from the windshield back the cover was torn to shreds. We bought another same cover and a number of rolls of duct tape and duct taped over the cover the whole car so there was no loose material. Ran the duct tape right over and under the whole car so it was tight enough that the cover could not move. Looked crude and like a huge gift wrapped cobra but there was no damage to the paintwork and it even kept the weather out. We also taped some heavy duty bubble wrap to the frontend and windshield to prevent from any stones or such kicked up, just make sure it is over the cover and not on the paintwork. Also removed the sunvisors and windwings. If you remove the duct tape carefully you will save the cover. It does not stick well to the cover but sticks well to itself. Finally all that was needed was to clean the residue of the tape left on the frame. The cover was only about $60 from Costco.
