Default Looking for a Convertible-Specific Car Cover

I've got a 2005 Convertible. (That means not a wide body) I have a nice cover for it already. But it is for a coupe. And I'd really like to have a cover that is made to conform to the convertible top and trunk rather than just stretching across where a window would normally be on a coupe. I've done quite a bit of searching, and can't seem to find any convertible-specific covers. Does anyone know of any out there?

TIA

So you are looking for a cover that fits with the convertible top down? My car cover just listed that it fit a C6 Base and didn't state coupe only. With the top up it fits very well. Since I also have a vert and am interested in a lighter, less bulky cover to take on trips I Googled covers for top down. What I found only seems to cover the windshield and cockpit. I haven't found one that covers the whole car.

Here is an example:

I don't think there is a full body cover designed to fit with the top down. I never saw one when I was searching for mine.

Not looking for one designed for top down. Looking for one that fits the convertible shape better than a coupe cover.

As it is, its kind of like putting a standard C5 cover on an FRC. The convertible has a flat trunk. Just wanted one that fits the contour of the convertible top better, rather than the slope of a standard coupe shape.

Take a look at the Coverking Stormproof. That's the one I use for my vert, and it's a pretty tight fit.
