The other problem with a car cover in the rain is that when you take it off, you have 20 lb of dripping fabric in your arms, both sides of which are now wet, that certainly can't go in the trunk but needs to be hung somewhere, which is either the garage (but why isn't your car in the garage?) or in the house (then you will be sleeping in the garage), plus which the interior of the car gets wet from your soaked clothes. It just doesn't work real well, I used a CCC weatherproof cover for years until I saw the light. Sure, if you are gonna park a topless convertible in the rain, then the dripping bundle is better than nothing.
