I bought this one from AutoZone http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Budge-Vehicle-Cover-Custom/2011-Scion-tC/_/N-k0mftZ96364?counter=2&filterByKeyWord=car+cover&fromString=search&itemIdentifier=196166_264331_0_

I took it out and was weary about it cause it felt like a potato sack lol So I haven't put it on my car yet. I did let my body shop guy feel the fabric and he said it is fine and that his cover for his new Mini is tougher feeling than this one. He said just don't pull it off, fold from the back, up the car to the glass roof. Then do the same from the front til it meets on top. I'm honestly scared this thing is going to scratch the paint. Maybe someone else can chime in..........

^^ is yours outside? What type of material did you get? In NY we have hail, snow...So the cover I got is kind of thick & feels like a potato sack with a plastic-like material on the inside layer. Now this being my first car cover, I'm just saying that I'm weary about throwing this on my car. I didn't buy the cheap one...it's was the most expensive AutoZone had....if that even makes a difference lol

Yeah I got the silvergaurd and I live in Los Angeles where we have earthquakes and fires.. neither of which effect the cover, well I guess the fire would be a factor but at that point, let that _____ burn cause I WILL be getting some additional items out of that little gecko creature :icon_smile:

I've been using a very large tarp this way there are no scratches since you don't have to stretch anything to keep it on the car. You can put bricks or something on the ends so it doesn't fly off.
