Default Picking a car cover

I in the market for a new cover and im looking for input from owners.
It is an 89 vert that is outside at all times except winter so rain protections is the deciding factor.

would be glad to here any suggestions.

thanks

DO NOT wash your cover. I washed mine and the water repellent became compromised. After I washed it the car cover would leave a fine white dust all over the car. At least that was my experience.

I have a 91 vert. I got the $159.00 one from Car Covers Direct. I did get the mirror pockets and custom fit. I am happy with it. The car is outside right now 24/7.
