I used a ?titan 5 layer? cover from empirecovers.com last winter in Vermont. My car sat in the driveway for a few months with it on, and we did have some good storms, but no serious hail. I think if I were to put a thicker quilt or something underneath it would?ve been sufficient enough to protect from hail damage. It was plenty big enough to fit my 960 wagon and it came with a cable to tie it down securely. It cost about 100 bucks, so it was much cheaper than any other ?custom? winter weather covers I could find. I did notice some scuffing on the roof and hood edges after removing it, where the wind must have been whipping it around causing it to rub. In my opinion these covers are maybe good for two seasons, possibly only one if your going to get really bad weather where you are. The material just doesn?t seem to hold up very well after taking it on and off, folding it up, getting it dirty etc, and it doesn?t seem like something you want to just throw in a washing machine. I also looked into some covers from covercraft, but those were 5 times more expensive than the one I ended up buying. If I were to use one again during the winters here, I would go with the same titan 5 layer cover, but use other blankets or maybe even a summer time softer dust cover underneath to protect from scratches.
