Proper use of car cover in rain and snow?

[jotoole]

That cover is tough. Leave it on.
All the ice and snow will come right off with the cover. Then shake off any that's
left on the cover and you are ready to go. No need to do any scraping!
Been through that dozens of times.

+1 on the oem.
Good fit, works well. I actually liked my old oem silverguard better than my recent oem silverguard replacement, b/c the original had less lining fleece to trap dirt, breathed better, was quicker to dry, and easier to pack up.
But the new and "improved" oem silverguard II version seems more durable, sheds water better, fits almost as well, and most importantly is readily available for purchase.
I leave it on regardless of weather, but ONLY after I have recently washed the car. Otherwise the car can fend for itself against the elements, with a little help from sunscreens or a truncated "California car top".
By the way, I think the original oem silverguard cover died at the hands of some curious feline, who apparently leaped onto the cover after I had stupidly put it on overnight with the top down, leaving plenty of slack. The cat apparently engaged its positraction drive to extricate itself from the slack top over the cockpit, thus fatally lacerating my cover. Moral: don't leave the cover on with the top down more than briefly.
