Just any old blanket? Did you cut one down to fit on top of the fabric top?

Never had an issue with mine. It has always stayed put.

I went the bath towel route. Folded in half the long way it fits perfectly. I would strongly recommend pink for the color. It's dyno proven to add at an extra 5 hp

That is mighty stylish! I tried the towel but I still ended up with rub marks. The marks I get are minor and come off when I wash the car so I'm not too concerned.

Hmm, I think I have green, purple, and gray to pick from. Might have to go by a matching blue or tan towel.

Thanks for the photo!

Might have to try the bath towel idea..........would make the cover a little tighter.
Only saw mine lifting once, freeway speeds (75+) and wind gusts over 30mph..................never came off just lifted up.
