I'm trying to find a good car cover that will allow the car to breath, have UV protection, and some sort of protection from hail damage (knock on wood). Any suggestions? Thanks

Simon

Simon-

I got the Covercraft Technalon from Rob at Top Notch (one of the sponsors) I'm happy with the thickness of it. But I can't say that I have any experience with hail protection. There are some that are more "weather resistant," but I think those are thinner. You may have to prioritize what features are most important to you. I'd email Rob, I'm sure he'd give you some good input. That's what I did when trying to pick which cover to go with.

I'm not looking for a car cover that is made for hail or harsh weather. I'm looking for a car cover that will give me the ulitmate protection. Any good car cover will prevent any kind of damage.

I highly recommend the factory cover mainly because I have one (I got it from Marvin the Martian who didn't need it...thanks again Marvin). I can attest to the fact that I had to drive my car in a hailstorm the first week I had it and even though I did NOT have the cover on at the time (pretty hard to see where you're going while the cover is on) I SUSTAINED NO HAIL DAMAGE. I only use the cover for fair weather protection or in the garage to protect my S2000 from ravages of my son's very amateur rock and roll band.

A garage! But, in lieu of that, the factory cover is awesome - I got one for $166...email me if you want more info on that!
