Default Best Waterproof Car Cover

Not sure where to put this, but it will help keep a car looking good so i figure this section would work.

Anyway, i am looking for a car cover that is waterproof. My car is not a dialy driver but will be sitting outside at an apartment when not being used. Aside from protecting from tree sap, dirt, other elements i am looking for a car cover that is waterproof because my t-tops and trunk lid leak whenever it rains.

Anybody have any recomendations, or past experience with good brands, brands to stay away from etc.

https://www.bigskycarcovers.com/ I have bought a few covers from them that are completely water proof. Water beeds on the cover and you can roll it around like mercury. The cover is also very light. Fit and finish are perfect. Not sure which model it's called just give them a call and they'll explain everything to you. Sorry in advance if this non-sponsor link can't be posted.

build a small garage just big enough for your car and tell your land lady to shove it because your car needed a home

Technalon covers work well. they allow the moisture underneath to vent through the cover.

I *think* I have a covercraft? It's blue and it's waterproof. No covers can be 100% waterproof because it still has to let moisture out. My cover does great in the rain (although it fits weird cause its from my 87 Camaro) but the only thing is it is NOT soft. So I worry that its putting swirl marks into my car.

FWIW- i have a coverking stormproof cover custom fitted for the F-Body. It is waterproof and breathes awsome. Wasn't cheap by any means but much cheaper then building a garage. I am actually selling one of them(have two) so let me know if you are interested.

Heres the cover-

My California Car Cover fits my Camaro SS like a glove, and has holes with reenforced rivets for attaching bungee cord to frame for very windy days, water repels right off, great cover.
