Default $20 CarCover from CanadianTire

Has anbody used this car cover. I purchased one last week and put it on my car. It was pretty inexpensive so I'm curious if it's bad for the paint.

It says it's "breathable" on the box.

The 20 bucker is a 'small' I am not sure it will fit a Corvette

They have 3 different sizes. I took the 171" to 200" size, which fit our cars' fine (and it was still $20).

Default I have one too!

I got the same one last year at this time for my car and it worked well! Not a tight fit, but covers car completely. Wind / Rain etc is not an issue in my case as car is stored indoors. I just wish I never had to use a cover and was able to drive it year round.

Like I said a small fit a Mazda 3 so I'm thinking a M fits a C6. Worst case buy a M and if too small exchange for a L......

It's for indoor use. I got one for my SIL for Christmas.

It's not a Wolfe cover, but it's good value for the money.

No I haven't seen that one, but I have a brand new GM C5 cover still in the box for $50 if anyone wants it.

I think the M should fit our cars. The covers have a range for the length. Get the 171" to 200" inch cover (because the C5 is 179" long).

Get the large, I got the medium for my 300ZX, and is perfect a C5 is larger so...

For $20 bucks you can't complain.
