Gonna park my car in driveway for the winter, What cover should I use? (covercraft?)
Any other ideas to protect vehicle during winter months? Should I put car on blocks or just move it a little now and then.

Also My passenger front headlight is getting moisture inside, No noticable cracks in lens. What product should I use to reseal it or is there a gasket to replace.

No possibility of garaging it over the winter? That would be the best choice. Putting them on axle stands might be a good idea, as well (ie to save the tires).

What year is your car? That's more of a manufacturing defect, provided you didn't 'clear the corners'. A friend with a 2003 6-speed got the headlight housing replaced under warranty. If it's out of warranty, then you might want to get all-season silicone and reseal the whole thing. I've had to do that with my cleared corners (ie took the orange reflective plastic out). Not an easy thing to do because you have to take the bumper off to take the headlight housing out!!!

Hi never stored a CL-S for the winter, but have stored many other cars. Wheel stands are unecessary if you're only storing for a few months. Just over fill your tires by 10 or 15 psi - won't harm them.

If you're in a winter environment (like I am) cover your car with a soft cotton cover to avoid any damage to paint, then cover with a waterproof cover/tarp, etc. Make sure the car is clean and waxed when you cover it - protects the paint against the cover.

You need to fill your tank to the top and ad fuel stabilizer - will avoid any moisture in your fuel system and makes sure the gas is usable in the spring.

Make sure you do an oil change before you store it. Old oil can have acids and moisture in it and may rust interior engine parts if left for extended periods of time.

Get some silica packets to leave inside your car - they gobble up any moisture inside your car and will avoid that musty smell in the spring.

Thats pretty much it.
