Cheap easy on/off cover?
Anyone have any suggestions for a cheap easy on and off dust cover? Car is kept in garage and not my DD and I have a nice fitted 5 ply for storage but looking for something soft for non scratching as much as possible and not fitted along bottom for ease of use.... Thanks

Thanks for the idea. Now all I have to do is get the wife to fire up the sewing machine.

I figured $220 to protect a $40K vehicle was sorta cheap.

Sheets work great. I like flannel ones. And most importantly they are very easy to wash unlike a regular car cover. See if your wife can sew velcro on them to attach instead of sewing them together makes washing easier.
Get sticky back velcro makes it easier to sew. I'm going to make one for my 14 as soon as I finish my boat canvas projects. Too many toys... |

That part is easy as well.....not getting the wife, but someone with a sewing machine, lol. If you don't have a buddies wife that can/will do it for you, just take the sheets to a decent upholstery shop and they should zip them right up for you.
