I've had the opposite experience, except it really is a PITA to get on/off. The 82 diesel is under one right now and it's doing a great job of keeping leaves, pollen and general muck off the nice paint until I get around to selling the van (anyone? It's a 7 passenger which needs a main seal. Offers?). Haven't had it blow off, but condensation will form between it and the paint - leaving dirt streaks behind. The one I have is Tyvek, however, so the condensation simply evaporates off. john > Here is my experience with any type of car cover on a van: a real = > PITA!
