             They work well if your car is in a covered place. The cover is
really just to keep dust off and wind will flap it in the breeze and can
wear paint. Course that's a big issue when towing as some people think
towing with a car cover will prevent damage when in fact is causes damage.
Also car covers will hold moisture in and cause dew under the cover when
stored outside.
