Car covers are almost useless insofar as rain is concerned, to the point
where you would rather take the cover off when it rained in order to keep
the cover dry and clean, and then replace it after the car has dried off.
Otherwise you wind up trapping moisture under the cover and actually
promoting rust.
What covers are good for is keeping dust, droppings and sun off your paint.
Sun is the real paint killer. Rain is basically harmless.
