Looking for a correct fit cover , any recommendations? I have one but it’s big and rear is marked and the other end is marked ‘rear’ also.

I've been using Covercraft on my cars and been very pleased. I write the name of the car on the front which for me makes it easy to identify for which car. I've bought them on Amazon.

 Though I am sure might be known already. here is a very simple idea I use for my cover install/removal to make it easier to know front/back

With the cover on the car, I fold it in thirds lengthwise along the car.  I then roll the back up to the windshield wiper area and then the front to the windshield wiper area.  That makes the rolls different sizes and easy to see front/back when reinstalling, just placing in front of the windshield.   

I know its very elementary but thought I would share anyway.

I found 4 pages of search results using "car cover".  I highly recommend getting acquainted with searching.  It's like asking a friend a general question and they reply, "did you Google it?".

Here are some examples.

I use a California Car Cover Co. 1-800-423-5525, www.cal car over.com. It is an all weather cover in blue. Perfect fit.
