The trick is, if they get water underneath, then they'll ruin the paint when
the sun comes out (the paint  will be ruined with light splotches, take a
look at a car that has had a car bra on it semi-permanently, and you can see

My B doesn't get rain in the usual cracks above the windows, etc with the
cover on,
