i used to cover my S all the time before i started to daily it. its to much of a pain to take the cover off and on. Just put it on during the weekends or when i am out of town.

my S has been outside since new, never parked it in the garage since I have other cars in the garage. It was my daily until early this year when I got my motorcycle, I was thinking of getting a cover for it next summer and looked into it, the NOAH seems pretty good at sun protection which is what I want. Now that it has started raining the S will be my daily again until next spring so no cover yet.

I have a CoverCraft Noah and the fitment is outstanding. Very soft, durable material and it's one of the better outdoor covers on the market for the money.

Get the rainX carcover, they are waterproof and they included the cable and the cheap lock in the box. I bought it at $50 in Menards.

Not exactly a car cover but you could look into one of these. It'd protect your car and you wouldn't have to worry about putting on/taking off the cover every time you drive the car.

The best option is probably a hardtop.

^^^I bought one of those $50 covers from Autozone for my old Prelude. It blew off the car with the slightest breeze because the fitment sucked (I bought the right size, it just sucked), and it fell apart in 4 months. It got brittle and crumbled after just one summer under the sun.

please stop putting these covers on your cars. It is so bad for the paint. Find the softest cover you can (probably oem) then cover the cover with some any of the ones listed above.

Sorry to revive an old thread but i'm interested in an answer to this. How is it that a cover can hurt your paint? just from rain hitting it and it brushing on your paint? is a weathershield cover "too thick"? im about to order a cover and it wouldn't make sense to get one that hurts my paint...i'm trying to protect it.
