Damn sorry to hear about the damage to your GT. I just saw that CoverCraft is having a sale on their car covers. They also have a general purpose model on sale right now for $18.99 delivered!!! How can you go wrong, eh? (note: no mirror pockets and certainly no cutout for the s4 & GTS top-mounted "fin" antenna).

This is a good "inside" cover. They have a higher-line model on clearance (1 mirror pocked only?!) for something like $90. You may have to do a search by manufacturer and model to find this one...

It's been my experience that a car cover causes more damage to the paint than it prevents - regardless of the quality of the cover.
You might consider investing in one of those car pods I've seen previously discussed here.

Back in my pre-home owership days....I lived for years with car covers. I never had any problem with scratches on my finish, and those years included 4 in a beachfront condominium with sand everywhere....
-The only issue I can see is the possibility of your car being rained on with the cover. My covers were the cheap cotton variety from Wal-Mart- they stuck like glue, and if I left them in the trunk for a few hours, they mildewed and stunk. I've heard it is not good for the wax coat to have a wet car cover in contact. Since the wax protects the paint when it is exposed to sun...

PS: Winds Of Change by The Scorpions is one of my favorite songs!
