Default Car cover

Anyone using a car cover on their roadster? Mine stays in the garage the majority of the time and I was wondering what everyone is using and any suggestions.

Why is this a unique roadster question? A good cover is a good cover - coupe or roaster. And the purpose of the cover is what? Dust in the garage?

well the OEM covers do come in different flavors - one style for roadster, one style for coupes, with a couple of levels of protection based on where you would be storing the car (indoor/outdoor etc)

to add on to that, two posts down there was already this conversation going on:

I just pulled the trigger for my parents roadster, on a non OEM cover.. I'll report back in a week or two with the quality and fitment. won't be able to comment on durability for a long while.

Most of what I've looked at specified roadster or coupe. I don't know. Roof line maybe? And yes dust.
I keep the car very clean and waxed. After sitting in the garage 2 weeks it has a good covering of dust on it. Now the DD Ford Ranger. Not to concerned.

I have a $200 weather proof cover from CoverCraft. Very pleased. But that is overkill for inside a garage.

I bought a custom cover from California Car Cover for the same reason. It's nice and fits great.

But ... after a short time, I realized it's a lot easier to throw two old sheets over the car than to put the custom cover on.

Mine is a dd, so the sheets are on and off a lot ... but they work well to keep the sawdust off the car while it's in the garage / "workshop", and they can also be washed.

I bought the Nissan OEM car cover for the roadster, it works great and has a Z across the hood.
