So its getting close to that time of year where I put the S to bed for a while. I have car cover that come with my 2006 S2000. I am assuming it is original? Did some of the cars come with a cover new? It has the S2000 logo like the one sold on Amazon for $188. Anyway, I have never had a car cover before but notice last year when removing it there was a lot of dust underneath that kind of was shed off the cover for lack of a better term. I also tried to pull on the cover a bit to straighten it out on the car and it ripped VERY easily. I'm thinking it may be dry rotted. Do car covers generally not last more than a decade? Do you replace them periodically? Sorry, I have literally never used one in my life before last year...lol.

Thanks

I have the OEM Honda cover for my 2003 S2000. It is a soft cotton that has held up well. It is only used indoors for winter storage and kept in a closed storage bin when not in use. Does yours see a lot of sun?

No sun for me but not sure about the previous owner. I just checked it again. I t tears like notebook paper. I think I'm just going to get a new one that is also weatherproof in case I have to pull it outside the garage to work on a project overnight. I'm thinking maybe the Covercraft Noah on Amazon for $224.

Stick with a breathable cover, not a weatherproof one. Wash the car before covering. OEM cover has worked well for me this way.

There may well be waterproof breathable covers but I agree with Chuck that if you are storing it indoors the fully breathable covers are the way to go.

Ok. Well then I'll get a new OEM one.
Thanks guys.

FWIW, I have an OEM one, my car used to be a daily so it hasn't been used that much but it's still soft and not brittle.

The OEM cover is for indoor use.

If you are at all thinking of storing outside, get the NOAH cover. It can be used inside and is superior to most when storing outside.
