Those vehicle examples are a starting point only. Brochure lengths often leave out tow bars, bull bars and spare wheel carriers, so put a tape on your own car. The full hail cover size guide walks through it, or call us on (07) 3340 4392 with your make and model.
What makes a hail cover different from a normal car cover?
Thickness. A regular car cover keeps dust, sap and sun off, but a hailstone goes straight through it. These covers have 6mm of cushioned foam across the roof, bonnet, boot and glass, and down the sides as well. The foam soaks up the force of each hit before it reaches the panel. They also have a soft inner lining, underbody straps and a stretch skirt so a storm front doesn't peel them off.
When should I put it on?
When the Bureau of Meteorology issues a severe thunderstorm warning for your area, or as soon as you see storms building in the afternoon. Practise once on a calm day so you're not learning in a 60km/h wind. Never head outside to fit a cover once hail has started.
Can I leave a hail cover on all the time?
No. These are storm covers. Leave one on for weeks and moisture and heat get trapped against the paint. Take it off after the storm and dry it before you roll it up. PC Procovers says no more than 6 weeks at a time.
Do hail covers actually work?
A good padded cover won't make your car hail-proof. Nothing short of a garage will. But it cuts down dents from the small-to-medium hail that most Australian storms bring. It's also cheaper than most insurance excesses. We've written up the pros and cons honestly in are hail covers worth it?
