[QUOTE="JoeNashville, post: 1208003, member: 14602"] I've seen something advertised in the back of Car and Driver in the past where basically it's a weatherproof piece of material with a rope and some stiffeners in strategic places. The point being it kept space between it and the car, there was about 2 feet of air between the cover and the paint. I would think that the main concern you would have, is having a thick material to avoid being ripped to shreds by ice (can be as sharp as a razor blade), while having some impact cushion between the cover and the car. No matter how thick the material is, if it's resting directly on the bodywork it's only going to afford minimal protection. If hail is really going to be a problem, and you've got a daily driver, you may want to consider storing the car in a U-Lock-It during hail season. The only sure protection against hail is a roof...and sometimes that's not even enough when you're talking softballs. [/QUOTE]
