Interesting, have to check tomorrow to make sure first click shuts off the lights. Guess it doesn't matter if you are taking out the battery, but wanna check anyway.

All the suggestions are good.

My opinion would be to leave the windows closed as barrier to moisture
and dust that may get in through the car cover. I keep dry-packs
inside to absorb any moisture. You can pick them up from Mid-America.
