covercraft noah is perfect, yet pricey. But so are scratches and mildew from cheap ones.

I need a car cover for my Max. I'm overruled in the garage by my dad's Honda Goldwing (beautiful), but come on! I hate when I go outside at 7:30 in the morning to leave for work and it's 40 degrees, and my mom says "Dress warm. It's cold!" Or when my dad says "You have frost all over your car." THANKS! I don't get the luxury of their cars and the Goldwing of parking in the 3-car garage

But I figure I can deal with scraping ice off my windows for a few more weeks (otherwise I'd get a cover lol).

We have 2 garages.. an my moms MDX is always in one and my 4th gen is in the other side sometimes and my dads 5th gen stays out...and vice versa... so whichever max stays out is gonna need a cover. I dont mind spending the money for a cover as long as it does the job of protecting the maxima from the weather and keeping it nice/clean and dry without scratching it.

Don't buy a cheap one from Target or Wal-mart or any discount store. They are not weather proof, just weather resistant. Rain will get under them and sit. This like anything else is a 'get what you pay for' item.

I found some decent ones from empire. This cover was a replacement cover for a custom cover that cost three times as much and started leaking water and collecting dust under the cover in less than a year. My Empire cover is 4 months old, has survived numerous strong thunderstorms and seering Texas sun, and so far is exceeding my expectations. I have 3 cars under cover, soon the other two will be covered by Empire.

True. I used a cheap cover one winter. Moisture got under it and then when it got cold, the cover froze to the car. Like anything else, you always get what you pay for. Luckily for me that was the winter before I painted the car so damage to the paint was not a problem.
