Default Carcovers.com?

I've got to move my 80 model out into the driveway for the next 6 months or so. (Need the garage space for some projects I'm doing right now). I don't drive it right now, needs a little mechanical and interior TLC, however the paint is in good shape. The tops leak pretty decent so I mainly just need it to fit right, keep the rain out and not scratch the paint. Wanting to spend around $150. Has anyone used carcovers.com before? They seem to be reasonably priced.

Thanks,
Taylor

I recently bought what I thought was a Premium top of the line car cover from car covers.com for a vehicle that will be stored sitting outside in the Western Pennsylvania weather this winter.
Had the chance to remove the cover after about 3 weeks. To find water
On car surface trapped between cover and car surface. Unhappy customer

I have heard of unfavorable results covering outdoor cars. Most trap moisture! Its ability to shed water or keep from penetrating will also keep it from leaving. Not sure how to keep water from infiltrating through T-tops.
Do they sell an outdoor cover?

I went to the website; they sell outdoor covers. Learn something every day. My suggestion would be to ask if this is for continous, longterm coverage? Another concern I would have is the movement across the paint during windy days. My .02

Not happy with what I bought even though it was for outdoor use
