Default S2000 Car Cover

Is the OEM S2000 car cover water resistant? Is it a problem if it gets wet? I have heard that it is an "indoor" cover.
Thanks

sidewinder...
it is not water resistant and it is best as a dust cover.
i love it so much that i have two!! but i am in an area where it does not rain and my car is almost never parked outside.
the honda cover is very well padded (good at reducing side dings) and very soft on the inside. my top is always down, so it acts as a theft deterent too (keeps hands outa the car!).
but it does keep my car looking freshly detailed at all times.

and the most important detail you'll learn from the above link:

One person had mice stuff the exhaust pipe with acorns. When he started the car in the spring, the resulting acorn shotgun blast dented his metal garage door. If you wish to rid yourself of the rodents, lay dishes of Instant Potato Buds and dishes of water around the outside of your car. They eat the Buds and drink the water and go *KA-BOOM.

The reason that I asked, is because I already have the OEM cover...just wanted to see if it was OK to get wet every once in a while.
