Interior Car Cover for my Vert

I'm looking for a car cover that covers only the windshield and interior for my 92 vert. I have not been able to locate one searching the web.
Any one have one or know who sells them?

Ive never seen one but Im sure you could probably get a custom one made at an auto upholstery shop for a reasonable price.
Ive actually used the full cover for mine with the top down worked quite well for me.

Re: Interior Car Cover for my Vert

Classic Industries is where I purchased mine about 17 years ago. Last I checked they were still available. As you mentioned it covers the windshield. With the side windows down, it continues back to cover the interior. There are straps that go around your side mirrors and through the door handles and velcro to themselves. There are straps that with a bulbous end that fit into the slot between the tonneau cover and trunk decklid. You install it by having either the toneau cover or trunk open, slip the straps into the slot and close making sure they stayed tucked in. Pull the cover forward and over the windshield. You can slip it under the wiper blades if you want. Then secure the side straps to the mirrors and locked door handles. It only takes a couple of minutes to install is a lot less of a hassle than a full car cover so you're more likely to use it. I've had mine so long that the threads securing the rear straps to the cover deteriorated and I had to have a dry cleaners re-sew them.

Re: Interior Car Cover for my Vert

Hey guys,
Thanks for the info. I plan to order one today as I'm tired of putting on the full size car cover or putting up the top all the time.

Update:
I checked both Hawk's and Classic Industries and was really surprised by the cost differance.
The same interior car cover from Hawk's was $40 more that Classic Industries.
Are Hawk's prices normally that much higher than other suppliers?
I plan to order from Classic Industries and put the $40 I save into my gas tank.
