I spend about $200 for a custom NOAH cover and have been extremely disappointed with it. The car stays cleaner and dryer without the cover than with it. NOAH lets through dirt, dust, and water and it absorbs water and drys slower than terrycloth. About all that can be said for it is that it does keep leaves off the car. I'm looking at heavy duty weathermaster at about $300 for a cover; don't waste your money on a NOAH cover.

I have the Weathershield from CoverCraft
Cover Craft
I found it to be everything they claim, its fitted for you car and goes on nice and snug. The only problem I found is its sooo light weight that a really good breeze can blow it off the front or back. So I have some tie downs for the side, front and rear. It was covered for the last 10 days and just this morning I uncovered it. It has been windy, rainy and nasty, and my car was pretty much spottless when I removed the cover. Just as clean as it was when I washed it right beforehard. The only part of the car that got dirty was the very bottom of the wheels and the rocker panels some, where dirt splashed up from the rain we had over the weekend. I paid somewhere around $250.00 for it from Calcarcover.com

BTW, what did you end up buying as a replacement?

I use a custom fit cover from Stratmosphere. Good fit for the car, keeps the sun and UV rays off it. Haven't noticed any scratching or anything like that. Comes with a bag to store it in, lock and cable. Quick drying. I certainly like it.

You might want to check out these guys. I ordered one and was impressed with the quality and fit.
I use it exclusively in the garage.
