Best Car Cover...?

[DonM]

For a short time, my Stinger will have to sit outside. Today we're supposed to possible have a hail storm so it's out there with heavy blankets held on with straps under the car. It got me thinking that maybe I should invest in a car cover for times like this. My thinking is I could put a heavy set of blankets on the car and then throw the cover over and it would hold the blankets down and protect the sides, etc. I shopped online and only found lots of options. I was wondering is anyone here had found a really nice cover under $500?

Don't have one, but I've heard really good things about Covercraft. They're made for the vehicle, and they have a lot of choices under $500

Under $500 dollars!? Spend a hundred bucks on a generic, it'll hold down the blankets.

I found one on sale. Normally $300 (so they claim) on Spring Sale for $150 and it's a guaranteed fit and heavy duty so close to what MerlintheMad suggested (great catch there Merlin...big duh on my part).

I checked out the CoverCraft and they have one I like but it's at that $300 price of the one at CarCover.com which has great reviews so what the heck, right?

Thanks to both of you for the responses. Appreciated.

For that price, it had better be waterproof.

It's a 5 layer outdoor cover that is waterproof but also breathes to prevent moisture build up. I live on a wooded lot so get birds, which I love, and their droppings, which I don't love. Also, trees drop things themselves and in reality are "dirty" plants. Don't get me wrong, I'd never trade where I live as I absolutely love being on a wooded lot, but it is a messy place to live.

Another item: I mentioned hail protection. I've read several articles about how hail storms will become more common. We've had three this season already which is odd. I"m working out getting the car indoors now. Issue for me is I have that Fairmont... back to the cover...

I called and the cover will be okay with the spoiler and handles the shark fin antenna so it won't need to be customized. If the spoiler were more than about 10 inches tall, the cover would have to be customized. No idea on cost for that. Cover was $150 with free shipping but it's a "Spring Sale" and no idea how long that will go. Also comes with storage bag and cable/lock. They say cover is normally $300.
