For those who don't have a car jacket, I like a product called Fresh Cab. It's a combination of herbal stuff in a little sack that smells great but mice hate it. It's available at Tractor Supply stores here. They last about a month before you need to change them. If you can't smell them anymore, change them.
I also put plastic sandwich bags with rubber bands over the tailpipe ends and the air cleaner snorkel. My garage is not mouse proof so I have to take extra precautions.

Who makes the best one on the market? Do you need a soft cover underneath or do they come with a soft lining underneath. Thanks Bob
I am looking for one for my 2017 anniversary issue Camaro

Yes Bob, you need to have a good preferably soft car cover on prior to placement of car jacket cover. Another good tip when zipping up is leave a few inches open and place the hose of your shop vacuum in to assist with sucking the air out. Good idea to have the car at ambient temperature, push back or forward from resting position, place car jacket where desired, push car back in position and button up.
