can any of you guys suggest a good car cover for my Cherokee? I bought one last year at Pep Boys (local parts store) and it lasted 10 months in the sun and snow... I need a better one!

Thanks and happy T-Day

I can't find it now, but there used to be a custom-for-waggy one. I don't remember who makes it, I am also looking to replace my cheapo one.

I got my waterproof one from Empire Covers. It isnt a Waggy Specific cover, but it fits fine. Onlyhad it on for a month so I am unable to comment on longevity.

I have one from JC Whitney, still covering but lasted about 3.5 years without issue.. Covercraft evolution. fits good, except for mirrors (ford swingaways) and the antenna slit has grown.
has pretty good protection from dings and such (acorns, sticks...). the stupid cat gets on it every once in while cuz its soft...i grab the water hose.
I drive my truck about every weekend, I keep a husky trash bag for the cover to keep it from getting wet or messed up when i'm out. The only time it isn't fun is when you want to drive it and it is raining....

Getting ready to do some repairs on the cover or just call under warranty, bed area tore next to seam because of snow.

Follow up: called JC Whitney, they "covered" it under warranty. haha. had me send in cover, they sent me a new one in less than a month. For the antenna they included a grommet so you don't end up having a slit grow from the antenna. J10 is now happy being covered when not in use.

When you order one they ask for certain measurements. It ensures that cover fits like a glove. I would take a pic but it is dark. Overall its been a good purchase, JC Whitney's customer service helped too.

The Harbor Freight "garages" make good covers. Drive in drive out. Tight fit though. I have five hidden around my property full of tractors, car parts mowers and a tear drop trailer.
