Posted May 15, 201014 yr comment_319819 I'd like to get a car cover I could use while trailering the Z without damaging the paint.Anyone have any experience in doing this, or should I not use a cover while towing?Thanks....

May 15, 201014 yr comment_319823 Big mistake! It'll fly off or stretch into a hot air balloon. I've never done it personally, but seen the aftermath of friends doing it.

May 15, 201014 yr comment_319836 Yea, it's real difficult to tow a car with a cover on. The cover flapping against the paint will damage the paint. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/35915-car-cover/#findComment-319836 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cover flapping against the paint will damage the paint.Good advice, Chris, that's the same answer I would have given. The bestsolutions I can offer comprise any one or any combination of the following:(1) A nice tight fitting "Z Bra"(2) An air dam/stone guard option affixed to the front edge of the trailer(3) A pickup-type cross-bed tool box mounted across the trailer tongue (4) A full width sweep across the bottom rear of the towing vehicle(5) Longer-than-usual mud flaps behind the rear tires of the tow vehicleNow you will think I am a liberal politician since I am very good at spendingother peoples' money: :stupid:(6) An enclosed trailerAll Z Best,............................Kathy & Rick Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/35915-car-cover/#findComment-319872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 16, 201014 yr comment_319897 The only other thing would be a nose cone to cover the leading end of the car on the trailer. Just make sure it is sturdy and securely bolted to the trailer.I am driving my Z32 convertible to Nashville, and will either put on the paint protection film, a bra, or both...

May 16, 201014 yr comment_319921 I don't care for a bra either, but will find one before the trip to Branson and Nashville. Bug juice is hard to remove once dried, a screen will go in front of the radiator also. Both will be removed before judging.Bonzi Lon Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/35915-car-cover/#findComment-319921 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In item #2 that which I referred to as an air dam or stone guard, you called a nose cone. We had the same idea in mind,but I like your term better-- it describes the location and function betterthan I did. Thanks for bailing me out.All Z Best,....................................Kathy & Rick Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/35915-car-cover/#findComment-320557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
