Default Car Covers

Is there a Co. out there that makes a mobile car cover, a cover that can be installed while the car is on a open trailer and being towed?

I have never seen one I would be concerned about the car cover flapping in the wind and damaging the paint not to mention the material giving way and off the car cover goes on the interstate.

I have a high dollar cover now that has plastic eyelets on the bottom both sides, I wonder if you secured it from side to side if it would work?

DON'T DO IT!! Even under short distance trailering, theres no way to make it tight to the point that it won't flap in the wind. As soon as you get some dust and dirt under the cover it will act like sandpaper. Look at how much dirt and dust ends up on the rear bumper after just going around the block, imagine that on your car after a hour or more drive at 65 mph with the cover flapping around! Best case you would be able to wetsand it, worst case new paint job.
