Carcovers,

Find covercraft on the WEB they have the $127 covers available from TRF
and Moss for $40 plus $7 shipping and handling.  They are factory seconds
or returns.  

I bought one which I found to have a small rip.  They sent UPS to the
house, picked it up and returned it, all at their cost.  It was returned
within 10 days (UPS from the West coast).

Let me know if you cannot find the site and their 800 number.  I can find
it for you if you can't.
