Question NOAH car cover fit.

I just bought a NOAH car cover for my RX-8, and was a little bit surprised at how it fit. When I had a Noah cover for my miata, it seemed to fit more precisely, but the RX-8 Cover doesn't seem to be quite right. The main area that is in question is around the side view mirrors.

Anyone else seen this or have any comments on fit. This is suppose to be a custom fit cover, bought at autoanything.

Thanks in advance.

This is NOT a cover from Mazda. It's a custom fit NOAH cover for the RX-8 sold by a third party vendor.

I bought the evolution cover for my 350z from autoanything. I love it. It fits very tight and is the thickest cover I could find (needed to have a cover that kept cat's claws out)

What's wrong with the fit on the side mirrors? Mine were a little f*cked up at first but I had to pull out the cover a bit more

The cover goes over the entire car fine. It just seems like the way it covers the side mirrors is a bit odd. The cover doesn't go over the side mirrors completely and seems to pull a bit. Perhaps it will form more to the car as I use it more?? I had a NOAH cover in the past for a Miata, and I though it fit perfectly like a glove.... but I could be wrong. My impression was that a custom cover would fit like a glove and there wouldn't be any pulling so to speak.

Does that make any sense?

hmmm I know what you mean. Do you mean it is not as snug on the side mirrors?

I bought an Evolution 4 car cover from AutoAnything, and it fits just fine. Mine was from Covercraft, and I believe the Noah is also.

The mirror pockets are actually a bit larger than needed.

Problem Solved I HOPE! you will love this.

I finally did some homework and apparently the distributor of my car cover has a bit of dislexia and reversed some digits on my car cover. What I ended up getting was a cover for a CORVETTE and not an RX-8. Suprisingly it fit ok, but it was obvious something was wrong.
I am suppose to get a repacement within a week.

Thanks for those who contributed to my previous post
