1st thing is to get a cover with a good fit then its about sourcing some softish but strong string to tie it down with, I used to cover my car before I had a garage and never had problems with schaffing damage

For all you car cover needs go to classic additions

As said get one that fits properly and is elasticated.

May cost a bit more, but will be worth it, much quicker to use also!!
