    Best Fully Waterproof Car Cover?

    It won't be left on the car trapping moisture between the cover and paint, but it will be used during torrential downpours here in the primordial swamps of the Guff Coast.

    I've owned Stormguards and Evolutions, but they were not 100%, permanently waterproof.

    Who, if anyone, makes a waterproof, not water RESISTANT, cover?

    (blue WalMart tarp is not an option, but thanks for the thought)

    Scroll down on this page: Covercraft Car Covers offer protection and an attractive fit in a variety of fabrics & patterns! dustop, evolution, cover craft, truck, custom,

    I'm not sure that any of these are really waterPROOF though, because they are all breathable, AFAIK.

    Re: Best Fully Waterproof Car Cover?

    I use one of those universally-sized, totally waterproof,
    clear-plastic car covers...over top of vehicle-specific
    indoor/outdoor Covercraft car covers.

    I found mine at one of the many online vendors'
    sites listed under: clear plastic car covers.
    Cost? Between $15-$20.

    Here's a picture depicting what they
    look like installed on a vehicle that's
    similar to one of mine:

    Thanks, I had read that.

    They aren't 100% waterproof.

    Again, I'm not worried about mold, mildew, or trapping water between the cover and the paint.

    It's not going to remain on the car for long periods of times, a few days at most.

    Looks like "plastic tarp" is becoming the only option.

    But it could be a workable option.

    Thanks
