Default Anyone use a car cover on their xB?

Does anyone use a car cover, what kind, how much, and do you like it? I have had bad luck in the past, but been thinking about getting one if I can find something that is worth it.

Thanks, Josh

I can answer the "what kind?" and "how much?" questions. The link below should help. We've sold quite a few of these with no complaints. Hope this helps.

have you held one, whats the inside material like? my main concern was that the material would leave spyder scratches on the paint surface when the wind was blowing and stuff with my old cover, not to mention it let water in like crazy which sat on the dirt and the car so I would have like dried dirty/water puddles on the car.

Ok I just went upstairs and opened up on of the car covers. It says in the instructions it is water repleant but you have to keep it clean or it will not repell water. The material it like the soft part a CD rests on inside CD cases if you know what I'm talking about. I hope this helps.

Back when I had my SRT-4, I used a Weathershield HD car cover. The car was black, so the cover helped out lots. No water ever got through it. A tad bit pricey, but well worth it. I bought it here: http://www.autoanything.com/products..._by_covercraft

If you end up ordering it, have them stitch flannel into the seams. I had this done on the suggestion of several autopia members and the cover never scratched my paint. Without the flannel, some people got scratches from the exposed seams.
