Default Re: A good cover

Covers and tires provoke religious discussions on this forum. I bought some cheap Walmart covers for my 2005s since they live in a garage, My son took his 2007 to FL and I wanted a good cover for his outdoor parking, We ended uo with one from The Cover Store (the-cover-store.com) but made compromises, They seem to either a) protect from rain or b) protect from bumps and scratches or c) last a long time, but not all three without spending a lot of money. We elected to go with a cover that was thicker and claimed to protect the car from bumps/scratches at the expense of repelling water and long term durability. I also was not sure how much he would use it and did not want to spend a ton of money on soemthing he would jam in his trunk. If it was me, I would spend the $200-300 and buy the best fitted cover I could and make sure it has pockets for the mirrors, which tends to keep it tighter against the car and prevents crap from blowing in underneath. Crap under a blowing cover causes swirls and just leaves a mess, defeating the purpose of having a cover. There are a lot of cover sellers and google is your friend.
