Rats, Rodents, Squirrels, and Vermin—no matter what you call them—can quickly wreak havoc on any car. Store a classic car for any length of time, and these critters might feast on the car’s wiring, upholstery, and other car parts. Fortunately, one car cover, CoverSeal, has a long-lasting, permanent solution.

Mother Nature’s little four-footed creatures love cars. Whether they wish to gnaw on the electrical insulation found on wiring harnesses, use empty crevices to store nuts for a rainy day, or just need a place to shelter, cars are a natural fit. These cars do not need to be in long-term storage. Cars parked overnight can also be subjected to gifts from the creatures of the night.

All sorts of “urban legends” are alleged to ward off the creatures. Leaving the hood up might work. Placing a bar of soap could be a clean option. Leaving some mothballs is a possible deterrent as well. You might still find creatures using your car regardless of your chosen option. But wait, it gets worse.

Car Covers and Rodents

Many conscientious owners will put a car cover over their precious classic car. A quality car cover can ward away sun and weather damage. But alas, it is also unseen when a car is under cover. So when the car cover is removed, you might discover too late that the creatures had a feast under wraps.

CoverSeal to the Rescue

CoverSeal offers a better car cover. The silver material reflects 90% of sunlight and is made with 300D Polyester. This helps ward off rain, too. The beauty of this cover is that the bottom is a continuous seal of weighted material. That creates a tight seal against the ground that rodents can’t get under.

CoverSeal comes in various sizes to fit most cars. It also features a premium offering with a higher 420D ripstop weave fabric. The weighted seal at the bottom also means that the car cover stays in place in windy conditions without additional straps or bungee cords.

The makers also design covers for trucks and tractors. They offer affordable options for barbecue covers and patio furniture for homeowners.

Real World Testing of CoverSeal

We like testing new products. Now, we tested the CoverSeal barbecue cover, and we were impressed. Our test site was 100 feet from coastal water, so rats and other creatures are quite common on the patio. The barbecue cover was the perfect fit, and the bottom-weighted seal kept rodents from burrowing under. If it works for a tempting BBQ, we figure a classic car will also benefit from a CoverSeal. They are so confident in their product that they offer a 12-month money-back guarantee.
