Can anyone recommend a good car cover?

Does anyone have or know of any good quality nice fitting car covers for a GEN2 without aero kit for use outside that they can recommend? I'm seriously thinking of getting a car cover because I'm sick of washing my car and hours later getting it covered with tree pollen or bird droppings. The tree pollen is unbelievable this year and I'm forced to park my car always outside.

That rollup car cover looks interesting but I wish I saw the infomercial to see just how it rolls up and unrolls and stays in place when on the car. One guy says there is a suction cup he attached to his front bumper. I don't think though I want a suction cup mark on my paint. You'd think they would have the informercial itself on that website.

I'm looking around for one for my backup vehicle while it sits in the driveway and I've been pretty dissapointed thus far. I bought this $10 picnic blanket thing that is the perfect material (feels like cloth but it isn't and it's light and will never absorb water). If someone would make one out of that it would be perfect and cheap but all I see in the synthetics is $700 covers.

End rant... If I find something, I'll turn you on to it.

I've been using a universal one from ebay...

Kinda sucks, but it did it's job. There's this little strap that you can use to hold it in place (I stuck in in the trunk around the locking mechanism)... that thing broke after about 10 months of use... so, it's harder to put on now...

But for 30-40 bucks, it's not bad... I might just go get another one...

P.S. Here's the frontrunner in my search... Close to what I want (not coated or treated) but a bit pricey. $223 for G2, $300 for my 4Runner.

That cover looks pretty nice but I wonder if it will fit with the factory spoiler on.

I've never seen a G2 without the spoiler so I'm sure when they modeled it they had that on...

What worries me is if you choose convertible, for product it says:

Custom Car Cover with Mirror Pockets and Without Antenna Cut Out

and if you choose coupe it says:

Custom Car Cover without Mirror Pockets

Coupes have Mirrors and ragtops have antennae so whats up w/ that? I'm trying to find a site for the manufacturer for answers. (Even though I'm looking for the 4Runner cover.

Found it: Here's info on the generics... maybe one will fit the solara.

They have a list of retailers in the "Buy Now" section. I got a good laugh from http://www.carxccessory.com/ when I saw they had wings for the G2! Rice it up baby!
