    Anyone have a "Lightweight Cover" recommendation for AC truck?
    This AC isnt a dailydriver; driven 1x/week or less, but would prefer not to have to wash birdtirds and leafblower debris off [basic wash job] everytime I need to use.

    Prefer the lighter weight coated polyurethane silver colored material, but not the stuff thats so lightweight it fails in a few months; those are usually in the less than $75 range and fr/$camazon...total waste of $.

    I keep the truck in dr/way in SoCal and worst wx it'll ever see is daily ocean breeze less than 12mph and some dew. During rainy wx I pull the cover off. Sun is probly more damaging than anything else. If I can get 2-3 yrs w/out it turning shreds, im willing to spend up to $150, maybe a bit more.
    Also dont want the heavy duty 'shop towel' material OR the standard canvas; both are too bulky to stow easily.
    Hoping to find heavier duty polyester/polyuerthane coated that is easy to bundle up and stuff in a big trashbag to stow in bk seat.
    Appreciate your inputs. Thx, ps.

    Checking back...crickets so far.
    I guess majority of FGTs here are garaged or left out in Wx.
    Just wanted to see who's using what and how close a fit they got?
    Also, prices, materials unfriendly to Clearcot [my new Clearcoat], etc..
