Description
We design and manufacture completely custom fit products. Our covers will only fit the vehicle they are specified for.
How is the half cover protected from theft?
The cover is secured to your vehicle using padded ribs on the underside of the cover. These are trapped inside the closed doors and trunk so that the cover cannot be removed without unlocking and opening the car.
Are these half covers waterproof?
Our half covers are made from a Poly-Urethane-coated woven polyester, and are waterproof. However, since the weather is unpredictable and harsh on anything fabric, we recommend regular cleaning and maintenance of your fabric roof protector to help preserve its colour and water-proofing ability. This is as easy as washing your car’s soft top: STEP 1 – use a gentle car shampoo; STEP 2 – apply a fabric protectant (Full instructions provided with your cover).
How should I store the cover?
The cover should be dried out before being stored in the storage bag.
Can I use my cover on a towed vehicle?
We do not recommend using a cover on a towed vehicle or an open trailer. In addition to the flapping of the cover on the vehicle's paint finish, road dirt and debris may become trapped between the cover and the finish, causing damage to your paint.
Will a half cover scratch my car?
None of the materials we use to make our covers will scratch your vehicle. However, it is important that the cover is used properly, i.e. used on a clean vehicle, and that the magnets sewn in to the edge of the cover to secure it down are not dragged in to place when installing or removing your cover.
Can I use my cover when it’s windy?
Our covers provide a snug fit on your vehicle, and attach via padded ribs trapped inside the doors, as well as magnets along the edge of the cover, so they will stay put under normal wind conditions. Like any fabric, a car cover is susceptible to the wind, and although these are relatively heavy covers that perform well in windy areas, storm and wind damage is not covered by our warranty.
Protecting from moisture?
Under normal usage our half covers protect your soft top from all sorts of weather, tree sap, dirt, stray cats and the like. We recommend checking for moisture under your cover regularly, and removing and “airing out” your soft top and cover. The time frame for this is dependant on local weather conditions and humidity in your area, so there is no hard and fast rule here. If moisture becomes trapped underneath the cover for too long it can result in mold and bacteria formation that can fog your paintwork, or create water spots. North American Custom Covers is not responsible for any damage resulting from the use or misuse of our half covers.
Can I use my cover on a wet vehicle?
We do not recommend using your cover on a wet vehicle for any more than a day or so, for the reasons given above in "Protecting from moisture?”
What if my cover freezes?
In very cold weather, if you have not taken the precaution to air out the cover regularly, it is possible a wet cover could freeze to your car. Do not remove your car cover if it has frozen to your vehicle – you risk damage to both the vehicle and to the car cover. The car cover must be thawed before removal. This process can be expedited by pouring warm water over the cover. Please take precautions as you remove the cover as any damage is not covered by our warranty.
Folding and storing your half cover
If you fold your half cover methodically, and in a tidy fashion, the cover if much easier to reinstall the next time.
Fold each side up onto the roof, and then fold the front and rear portion of the cover on to the roof. You now have approximately a 3 ft x 3 ft square. From one side, fold a third of the cover in to the middle, and then from the other side, fold the other third in to the middle. The cover can now be folded from front to back, to a size suitable for the storage bag.
The cover should be dried out before being stored in the storage bag for more than a day or so, to prevent the build up of mold if the cover is folded when wet.
Do you supply a product warranty?
All our products come with a 6 month warranty against manufacturer defects. Should you notice a manufacturing fault, please contact us immediately to arrange a return / replacement. Usage of our half covers is at the sole risk and discretion of the user. North American Custom Covers is not responsible for any damage resulting from the use or misuse of a car cover.

Easy to put on, design keeps it planted.
I have just ordered my 3rd half cover from this company and in my opinion they are the best half covers out there. There are a few caveats however. The seams will leak just a bit. Not major leaks, but it will not be bone dry underneath the cover when it rains. Also, when it gets hot outside, the black cover absorbs heat and will be very hot underneath in direct sun. This is important when the sun comes out after a rain shower. The heat combined with moisture beneath the cover will fade any dark plastic the cover comes in contact with. In my case, it was the back window border. It rained in the morning and the sun came out for the afternoon and it was a very hot day. I'm now more careful when and how long I keep the cover on. I have had this cover on in a rain storm where we received 4 inches of rain and the underside of the cover was a bit damp, but the interior of the car was absolutely dry. In my area, we have had 24 inches of rain since January and my car was covered during every rainstorm with the same results. I do recommend this cover.
This is a well-made, well-designed product that is fairly priced.
This cover is made SPECIFICALLY for an e85 Z4. It won’t fit another roadster properly. Ignore the reviews from Miata owners.This cover has kept my soft top looking new, and water out of the cabin. It doesn’t fully cover the tonneau, so if you’re having water issues at those drainage points it likely won’t solve those. That being said this cover goes on and off in less than 3 minutes with a little practice. It stores small in the trunk and comes with me everywhere. It does wonders for keeping sun off the soft top and interior, as we all know the plastic bits are some of the first to let go in these cars and pound for pound the most annoying to source replacements for. I can’t recommend this cover enough.
Excellent custom fit on my Z4, rubber underside great quality, I recommend this cover for BMW X4 owners
