I'm leaning towards the ecklers one.
Do a search though. I posted this topic a couple times and got a lot of info out of them.

Big Al........I keep 2 cars at a time outdoors for short periods.Usually 1-2 weeks.

I use and like the Budge Tyvek covers you can find at the mart of wall for about $40.

They are lite,don't scatch and repell about 80% of the water.They dry quickly and really keep the light & heat out of the car.

I bungee the sides,front & back.Works Fine.For long term,I would get the Noah.

Size 3 fits my 02 Z.

Go to www.autoanything.com there is a lot of info on car covers and different types of materials including noah. A noah cover isn't the best but is a good cover. Whatever you do make sure it is a custom fit cover made for a c5. General fit covers will rub your finish over time because they're very loose and tend to move around in windy conditions. I have a stormproof from coverking and cover my car everyday outdoors. In the last 2 months i have only had to wash it twice. I do wipe it down with detail spray or dust it with a Ca. duster before putting the cover on...takes me about 3 minutes.

Big Al,

I think you will find most Cover Companies have very good products.

We choose Coverking because of their patented Materials.
We carry the full line of Coverking car covers. You can check them out

I have used the Noah cover for years and I buy them from Eckler's since they come with a 5 yr warranty. Used to be 4 yrs--and like all the covers I've used for decades they will eventually fail (unweave) along the front fender seam. Eckler's has stood behind all of the Noah's for me. In addition it is a very good outdoor car cover. Hope this helps.
