    Hey brother, you were one of the main reasons I bought a C4. Miss you posting

      I apricate that. I've been super busy with life and haven't had any time for the C4 this year. I did get some parts for it, so I will be able to post at least one update and how to swap the rear glass.

    There are decent car covers with soft lining inside so even if it shifts in the wind scratches arent likely. Plus the cover has side ventilation to allow it to breath underneath. I have a Hypersonic Gray Metallic 9Shich scratches and swirls quite easily (Anyone that has one can attest) and it hasnt put any swirls or sratches on it, still looks like a mirror and I had the cover on without taking it off for 2 months straight already outdoor with NO canopy or anything.
    I forgot to tie it down all the way and it was really windy the other day and the cover blew up like a balloon over the car, but never came off and still didnt scratch. The cover even has soft lining over any grommets and buckles.

      In my situation this was receiving all four seasons of weather. Rain, sleet, snow, wind, and sun for several years.

      once all the bugs are worked out and the car can be a daily driver, then I'll worry about how it looks.

    This is concerning. I've been using a cover on my 95 Corvette for couple months and so far it's been positive. I'm sort of between a rock and a hard place because the only place I have to park it is outdoors under some tree branches. I cover when not using for long periods and it's also parked under a 10x10 canopy that gives some extra protection from rain and tree limbs. Problem is without the cover it will get water inside from a leak I haven't been able to fix, bombarded with bird crap and twigs and acorns, and cats that want to climb on it.

      Well maybe get one that's soft? The ones I used were pretty thick. Maybe if you don't leave them on all the time. Towards the end I was only putting them on if rain was in the forecast
