I use the factory SS cover for mine. It stays in a garage but I have used it overnight to keep rain, etc. off and it works fine for that as well. I like it because it is a perfect fit. I think they are a couple hundred bucks or so, not sure if SLP still sells them but i would check there first.

I use the Wolf Evolution 4 cover from Summit. They go for about $130 for my car and I have used them for about 18 years now with no problems at all. My car sits outside all year round also.

I also have the factory SLP SS car cover. The car sits in the garage, so it's not really the same application. I hardly ever put the thing on to begin with.

I have heard good things about The Wolf & California car covers.

I bought one many years ago. I think it was a cover craft I paid $150 locally for. Works good and fits good. It's got the holes in the center to run a lock kit if needed.

That's what I got. It's a pretty good cover. BE ready to spend well over a hundred for a good one

California Car Cover, Stormweave. Survived a few northern PA winters with no problem.

I will have to agree on the California car covers is the way to go. I have the indoor one, but the storm weave is the the out doors. For out side I have the lifetime warranty one from advanced auto parts for when she sits outside at work or something.

For a locking cable. I modifed a Master lock Python cable. You will need two of them at Lowes $20~ish each. You can slide the cable completly out of one of the locks and throw the cable away. Or keep it the tool box. Then remove the cable from the other one. At one end there should be a metal ring. Insert is backward and lock the lock and throw the keys away you will never use them again. Then slide the cable threw one side of the car cover pull threw other side. Slide other lock on the other side of the cable pull tight and lock. And you are done. I love it the car cover has never cam off in a wind storm or anything like that being outside.
