Default Corvette Cover

Im looking for a cover for my C5. It is going to be in a garage most of the time, but I want one that is at least water resistant. Any suggestions on where I can get a good looking one for a reasonable price that wont scratch my paint.

I used a cover on my vert(always garaged) and found out that the fine particles of dust here in Flagstaff went thru the cover and caused small scratches in the car when I would remove the cover. I rubbed them out , now leave the cover off, windows and top up, and use a California duster.

Sometimes covers are more trouble than they're worth, and cause more problems than they prevent.

I use this one:

It's lightweight and has its own bag. I use it in the garage too just to keep the dust off.

Default Satin Cover

Has anybody heard anything about those satin stretch covers. They seem to be more paint friendly, but I think their strickly for inside use. Thanks of your replys.

I've got a California Car Cover, Noah cover with some cool custom embroidery. It was around $350. Great in the rain

I bought one from Corvette Garage several years ago. Works well as a garage cover. Check out their web site for more info.
