Recommended Car Cover for Sunbelt Heat?

[Ecksbee]

Greets from Austin!

Does anyone have a recommendation or two for an effective car cover for an '09 xB (with spoiler)? As we Texans know it gets mighty hot here so before we leave winter(?) behind I'd like to buy a cover for my wheels. (I was looking at the Sunbrella cover but it costs major doubloons. Ouch!)

TIA for your replies!

You could try this one, though I haven't used it.

I bought the factory Scion cover for my 1gen xB, it's a clothlike material, not plastic and has worked well for snow and rain. It's light colored so I'd imagine it will do well in the heat as well. Check if Scion has one for the new xB.

In my old car, I got tired of folding up window shades too, so I got a set of eclipse sun shades. They stay in the window and are self retracting, work a lot better than fold and stow ones. Web site is cheesy but it works. The xB is listed under Toyota.
