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.
Payment & Security

Perfect fit on my 986 (1997) Porsche Boxster. Did not realize it had strong but padded magnets on the four corners to hold the cover down, which is handy. Covers the entire top, front plastic trim under the wipers, and a decent section of the rear. Looking forward to using this on summer days
I’m really impressed by the well made quality and ease of use of this cover. It even comes with a good quality zippered storage bag. Highly recommended if you need a day to day quick cover to protect your soft top.
Well designed and well made. Appears to meet expectations
As described, happy with purchase.
This is my second and I really like the way it keeps the inside cool and protects the top. The first one started falling apart after 4-5 years of intermediate use. Otherwise I would give it 5 stars.
This is a well built cover, but it's more than I was hoping it would be. There used to be a company called PopTop, and I have one of their covers for another convertible. and it's better for my application because it's made from same material as hazmat coveralls so it's very light but tear resistant (proof?) and super fast to put on and take off. I can just roll up that cover and throw in trunk. Unfortunately they're out of business. and I was hoping this would be similar. Like I said, this cover is a much thicker, more robust half cover and very well made. You CAN just roll it up, but would take up too much space. Kinda have to fold it up nice.
Just wish you had a light weight option too.
The cover exceeded my expectations. The quality and fitment of the cover is excellent.
Customer support is also amazing. Their communication is very prompt!
The cover also works on the Cayman even though it’s for a Boxster. I’m using the cover to keep the inside of my car cool between sessions at the track.
They day the cover arrived we put it on the car. It rained overnight, and when we took the cover off the next day we found moisture trapped under the paint where the cover was laying. We used it exactly ONE time and it damaged the paint on the Porsche Boxster we just purchased. Now we have to have the boot cover repainted. Not happy at all. Cover is being returned.
Very easy to use and fold. The instruction was very clear.
Fast shipping and handling resulted in the cover arriving within a week of ordering. My Boxster lives outside, so this brand kept coming up as an excellent option for the car. Within the first week of using the cover, we had a bad monsoon with 70mph winds come through. The cover barely moved the whole time. I was a little apprehensive of how well it would hold up to strong wind, but after this storm, I'm 100% sold on this product.
Amazingly enough, it fits as promised. Thanks guys.
This cover kept my Boxster dry through a recent snowstorm. It was straightforward if finicky to install, but the "padded ribs" that are supposed to be locked into the doors and trunk lid to secure it are not fit for purpose. They are very short - barely over an inch long - and do not fit tightly into the doors, if you can get them in the right place at all! Since these ribs are touted as an anti-theft feature I expected better, but in all cases I was able to easily pull them from the locked doors and trunk lid. Fix the ribs and this cover might be perfect!
This is an awesome top cover. Very well made!!! It is so easy to put on and protects my back window from the sun and keeps my car inside much cooler in the Florida high heat! Great quality.
It fits perfectly and stays in place during strong winds and storms.
Very pleased with my new half cover. Easy on and off and great protection.
Great cover - quality materials, but a little challenging to get it wedged into doors and trunk gaps (soft felt tabs). Heavy duty, high quality fabric leaves a couple of wrinkles (waves?) but this is better than having it wear out. This will last for years and will be used.
This is my second purchase. Fitment is quite good. It protects my Boxster from rain, dust and sun. Prevents the interior from fading.
Well done, thick and water resistant. The fit is not great but maybe it needs to sit out a few more days to soften a little. I have a temperature and humidity sensor in the car and I can see it and compare it to another vehicle and this cover keeps the Boxster 15 to 20 colder than the other car under the sun.
It protects the dashboard from the intense heat of the summer sun. It's quick and easy to put on.
Highly recommend.
This half-car cover fit perfectly and material was very good.
Stores well, Easy to get put on in emergency. Fits ok. I like and that’s all that counts.
I love being able to cover the car protect the car from outdoor elements
Love this product. Easy to put in and remove. Material top notch.
Needs more weight to keel from being blown off on the wind.
Fits my Boxster well. Keeps rain and snow off the entire soft top area so little worry when you need to leave the car outside. It will not withstand very strong winds and will blow off, but generally works very well
second Boxster...second Cover. These work great!
It is heavy but a very good one , practical
this top is great, put it on when ever I'm away from home, at work, baseball and football games, golf course or were ever a full cover is impractical. The quility is outstanding and fits over the convertible top like a glove. Could not ask for anything better.
nice product, met my quality standards.
