Just received my 5 ply car cover yesterday. For $127 it seems to be fairly good quality. It isn't as soft as I would have like, for the inside ply against the cars painted surface. I wouldn't drag it over the paint of your car to much. The cover is a little stiff, but it's new. Over time it may be a little more playable. There are 2 black straps with clips that are sown in to the Car cover edges to keep it in place. They provide a small lock and lanyard for security. Folding the cover and putting it back in the carrying bag it came with, may be a little difficult.The cover can be machine washed in a large capacity (they say commercial) washing machine "with out a agitator", using simple green cleaning solution, air Dry.

Over all I think it's a good buy for a weather proof cover and the Price.

Has anyone have trouble on their high windshields where the a pillar quarter glass is at? I'm asking because that area should be reinforced because it will possibly rip?
I'm interested in getting one myself but would appreciate some counsel on this point of interest.
It's because I don't have a top on mine and would have to move my roadster outside soon.
Thanks
Ken
