Default Beware of Chrysler Front End Covers

Just purchased a front end cover from Wycoff's website. The site pictures the new design but they ship the "older" design with the bump-ups on the hood and more important .... the inner liner that causes fogging of the paint if left on after it gets wet. They even provide the TSB from Mopar regarding the "fogging or hazing" of the paint if the cover is not removed to dry out.

Can you imagine? You must take the cover off if you get caught in the rain or ifyou wish to wash the vehicle.

I've requested a RMA number from Wyckoff to try and get a refund ............. and have already ordered a LeBra replacement.

I might add at half the price ( $130 versus $66. )

It seems that once again I've gotten half the info and ALL the front end covers put a disclaimer on their product stating that they shouldn't be left on wet. Except LeBra claims their material is perforated and will dry if you drive the car around for however long.

I'm hoping the disclaimer for paint damage is for folks that leave the cover on year round and not just through the summer.

You'd think I'd get smarter with age ......... but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Oh well.

I think this happens with all covers. I will leave mine on for a few weeks, then take it off on my VW. You can see a color mismatch even if it has been dry. This has happned to all my cars. Leave it off a week or so and back to normal. For this reason.. I just but the bra on the PAC when we take longer road trips and take it off when we get back home.

Thanks Mr Fixit. I plan to use our LaBra only on the Cassiar highway and the Top of the World highway on our trip to Alaska to avoid stone damage as much as possible. I too was surprised when I got the Bra that they recommended removing it to wash the car. What a drag. Fits ok though.
