I've only used the California Car cover "Storm Guard", too, but, I'm not going to debate the extent that H.'s clear coat might have incurred "microscopic" scratching on it, as the result of the car cover blowing in the wind and/or getting some minor dirt underneath it, over the course of decades of using them, to protect him. His OEM windshield has remained remarkably sand-damage-free (you get that, out West, via 'osmosis', it seems) from my trying-not to drive him during any large windstorm events.

The non-retractable fender antenna actually helps keep the cover on the car.

All of ou have great ideas and suggestions including on how to further protect the aint finish. My main problem is that my city is extremely windy almost all year ound and dust is a huge disadvantage around here. I use a regular cover and one f those blue tarps on top to keep the dust away from filtering and caking on he car cover. Installing a grommet for the antenna on the car cover is an xcellent idea, but the blue tarp is so cheaply and flimsy made (China) that it ears up easily after a while. Thus, that was my reason for wanting to install a ully retractable antenna. Thanks!
