Did you get that from your dealership?

If so, can I get the part number from you?

Thanks

No offense, but that cover doesn't look like a $250 plus cover - looks thin, like something cheaper. Doesn't look sharp and snug on the car.

Are you happy with the quality?

The part number, and one for another cover, are listed in the garage with other Marauder related part numbers

Looked at the car cover in the events section and I agree with Matt Johnson, looks kind of thin and flimsy for that price. :eek: I like the Marauder logo on the front. The lettering could have been alittle larger and in black with that gray background.

thin and flimsy? Remember it's not just a cheap nylon type cover. It is the latest "weathershield" cloth. Check some of the sources for quality "fit" covers.

The other cover available from Ford is "Noah" cloth at $238

My first impression was that it was thin,and it is!It is a high performance fabric which has a polymer film encapsulated into the polyester weave.It is only made for the Thunderbird,Mustang,Marauder and Harley-Daividson P/U's.It can be machine washed at home and glides over the cars surface.Its very compact and folds up nicely.A friend of mine has the Noah cover which just about fills his Crown Vic Sport's trunk mine is a 1/3 as big.The weathershield cover offers a superior paint finish protection which is why I bought it.The biggest advantage to the NOAH cover to me is if you were storing your Marauder outside.It's thickness may help to keep dings and dents from occurring?My Marauder sucks dust and this cover saves me some california duster time.:D

That is a good cover. I have a NOAH cover and it is a little thicker than the one you have and is waterproof and weather resitant. A bit bulky but does the job. Right now my MM is wrapped in a PermaBag and is completely protected from the snow, etc. and is in a humidity controlled environment.

Having a garage built this summer.


Haven't driven it since late January. (too much snow)

Big....try California Car Cover Company. They'll make a Noah for you! I think the site is www.calcarcover.com. It may not have the Marauder name on it, but it fits like a glove. Had it made for my '03 CV Sport prior to the MM and it fit the MM too.

The NOAH cover I ordered was for a 2002 Grand Marquis. Fits the MM like a glove.

I ordered the noah cover from california car covers before I recieved my car. It's seven months old, still water repellent and looks new. About $240. Very pleased.RW.

I was a noah cover owner, before i purchased the L/M factory cover made by covercraft. The new cover keeps the car cleaner, less bulk in the trunk, and because the new cover is black in color it makes car look awesome. The cost is high, but it’s on par with most high quality covers.:flamer:

I received my "Weathershield" car cover this week from California Car Covers. I need it because the garage in which my car is stored seems to be very dusty. I washed the car today (after a several hundred mile jaunt) and slipped the cover on the car after I was done. Perfect fit, even down to the mirrors and the factory spoiler. I highly recommend this cover and the supplier, California Car Covers. The cover was received within three weeks from when I initially placed the order for it.
