I highly recommend the Noah brand cover. You can get it from Mid America. Ecklers, Zip, and a few of the other Corvette catalog locations.

Noah has great outdoor protection properties. :cheers:

Two things you want for sure:

the cover should breathe, allowing any moisture which might get under it to escape/evaporate;

the cover should have a fleece type lining to ensure it does not scratch/rub the paint.

I suggest spending the money for a good quality cover with mirror pockets, storage bag, and tie-downs.

Noah is good. I had mine on in a down pour and although it's not a water barrier, there was a huge puddle (2in deep) between my rear glass and the spoiler. Once the rain stopped, the puddle was still there and I lifted the cover to find only a little bit of that water soaked through. A Noah cover is about $150 (not including shipping), but locking cable and bag is extra. Wolf fabrics has a new car cover out also, but I don't have any experience with it.

From my research since I've been cruising the forum (about 2yrs), Noah is the favorite for breathability, durability, and gentleness on the paint. Whatever you choose, good luck and thanks for listening! :seeya
