Took an idea for boat cover from CDC to support cover I got from Academy. Trying to prevent rain water from collecting on cover. Will see how it works. Think cover fits pretty well.
Ordered some tarp clips and will use to tighten up a few spots.

Cover is 600 denier material. Hopefully it will last a few years. Using pool noodles on windshields to minimize sharp edges.
