Does anyone have a recommendation on a car cover or tarp that fits the unusual shape of the 2004 Prius well?
go to www.calcarcover.com - click on custom car and truck covers on the left, then input the model (they do make covers for the prius - FredWB posted a picture of his covered - http://priuschat.com/forums/album_pic.php?pic_id=144 )
I asked Fred about these -- he mentioned that he's very satisified with the SuperWeave material. It's machine washable, and has held up well. I'd been considering the StormWeave material (leaving the car outside in the back yard, no carport or garage, under fir tree branches); Fred said that the StormWeave material, in his experience, breaks down fairly quickly, and leaves dust all over the car. Anyway, he's sold me on the SuperWeave option. When my car comes in, I plan to have a cover waiting for it.
I just picked up my Prius Cover from Toyota, cost approx $134 - fits perfectly, easy to take on and off, even has a cover for the antenna. It took a few weeks to get.
