keep in mind, these are custom fitted for your car and theyre no where near the crappy nissan cover they sell for 90 bucks. of course, these are more expensive. they have different fabrics depending on what your need is... whether it will be covered in a garage or outside, etc.

their best cover is called the Weathershield™.

features:
  • WATERPROOF Water sheds off the cover as soon as it hits the fabric!
  • DUSTPROOF Patented fiber encapsulation process prevents dust from filtering through the fabric. It also keeps out tree sap, bird droppings and pollution.
  • SCRATCH-LESS Polymers provide a silky smooth finish to the fabric and provide superior paint protection. WeatherShield fabric has been tested at 1,000 cycles on abrasion wheels without scratching (surface must be clean and waxed).
  • BREATHABLE Allows any heat or condensation under the cover to easily escape.
  • UV RESISTANT Special additives prevent UV degradation and protect the vehicle’s finish and interior.
  • SUPERIOR DRY TIME Because the fabric sheds moisture it has an absorption factor of only 2%, compared with up to 40% for standard woven fabrics. If the cover has been sitting out in the rain you only need to shake it and the residue moisture will easily dry, in the trunk or on the car.
  • EASY CARE WeatherShield covers can be washed at home - in a home-size washer and dryer!
  • DURABLE The encapsulation process is not affected by heat or cold and the process won’t degrade over the life of the fabric.
  • PLIABLE WeatherShield covers drape better on the vehicle and are not affected by extreme heat or cold.

RATING: RAIN=10 SNOW=10 SUN=9 DUST=9

Re: Car Cover

just any car cover will do...I would prefer 3 layers and with lots of pores for heat releasing. get a size bigger and the way I put it on is roll the car cover from the front to the trunk when I take it off and roll it back when I put it on. After 1 year of practice (yes! everyday!) I can do this within a minute.

H8 the Nissan OEM cover

Apparently over the weekend, some clawed animal (cat, squirrel, ?) got a claw caught and had a little fight with my cover, tearing about a square inch off! What a waste of $90 bux on this junk! (My wife's gonna try to sew it)
