Default A car cover NOT to get

Just received a Noah car cover from www.Carcovers.com

These are bulky and difficult to put on due to a lot of elastic in the ends. But worst of all, there is no pocket for the antenna. One night with this on mashes the antenna down flat. There is no way one would use this cover on a daily basis. I guess it's off to the Honda dealer for an OEM.

Factory car cover is great..... and it's about the same price as the ones you bought.

It's also very easy to put on and off.

The OEM cover IS great, but it is only a dust cover. The Weathershield and the Noah are also water repellant.

I use the OEM one in the garage and the Weathershield outdoors away from home.

I bought from Covercraft. They make an excellent cover out of Noah and it has an antenna pocket too.

Dave,
Check out this thread for great car cover.

I have researched this topic and I have found that WeatherShield custom car cover is the best car cover for outdoor.
Honda OEM car cover is best for indoor.

Looks like the antenna pocket is an additional option from them. They sure do charge extra for a lot of things that other companies throw in for free.

IMO, if your keep you car outside, the Noah is a waste of money. It's bulky and heavy, can't be washed in your home machine, and worst yet, leaks water like a sieve. I should know--I have one. I also have the Weathershield, which is far superior in every way. It is near waterproof, lightweight, folds up into a small bundle, and can be thrown into a washing machine when it gets dirty.

Don't waste your money on any version of the Noah.
