Default year 'round car cover?

hey i have a C6 vert that i daily drive and sometimes here in DFW it gets cold enough for the car windows to freeze up and not let you in the car.

is there a car cover that i can use so when i come out of work my car is not frozen shut?

thankyou in advance

The only thing that would scare me from using a car cover is all of the scratches that the car would develop leaving a car cover on with the accumulated dirt particles. I think you would have fine scratches all over the car. Just something to think about.

I use a Typhoon outdoor cover custom fit for my 07Z. Fits well and I use it all year long.

I purchased this outdoor cover made by SoftShield last year and it fits well, is water proof and has a thick plush flannel liner. It also breathes even though its water proof. The price was just under $200. The only downside it has is that it's bulky when rolled up into its storage bag so its not suitable to take on a trip.

I have a few Covercraft covers that I really like, but I would be careful using a cover on a vert top in frosty conditions. It might not be an issue, but it would worry me.

i see your point... but that fabric is no joke... it's thick and its on there nice and tight (giggity) so im sure there wont be a problem... less of a problem than me getting off work in the morning and not being able to get in my car LOL
