With the purchase of #3, #2 is getting booted out of the garage and into the driveway. I would like to find a reasonably priced outdoor car cover for it. High sun, zero shade area (we affectionately call it the blast furnace) that frequently sees rain. Looking at under $125 if possible. No bells or whistles but just something that can do the job.

Thanks.

 

I am a big fan of the California pop top. Google it. it's not a full cover, it's a tyvek part that covers from the window line and up. really keeps the heat out! super easy to put on and take off, inexpensive. Ive had several for other cars, going to grab one for my new '16 Clubman S.. just have to measure for the owner.. his list of car sizes is a bit out of date, but he's still there selling them.

 

Hi navybsn!

There is a polycotton car cover available for $170 that may work for you:

As you can imagine, there are dozens of choices so I'm including the application guide as well:

Hope this helps!

Could you do a canopy instead? One thing to consider is the movement of the cover on the paint due to wind. I had a car I did this with and it ended up with lots of light swirl marks in the paint. I'm not sure if the higher quality covers negate this at all. Just a thought I wanted to share.
