[DML] Re: Car Covers

["Jon" <jn_lockwood@xxxxxxxxx>]

The fabric I use, is the same as commercial awnings are made of.  Lasts for years.  But then again I am an upholsterer and stitch my own.  If you want the fabric info, email me off post and I'll let you know.  You can order from any local upholstery supply store.  Not cheap..
