hi... I've done a search, but nothing came up about car covers.... maybe I didn't search deep enough...
but does anyone know a universal car cover that will fit the P5 and also a compact sedan? I suspect the person that parks next to me at my apartment always scrapes some of his paint onto my car when he opens his door, therefore I need a cover to protect my paint.
so is there a cover I can get apart from the dealer one, hopefully one that also accomodates the antenna position of the P5 or I might have to change to a shorty antenna

I just asked about one for my MSP & I was told that the dealer should sell a genuine Mazda cover (with lock) for your P5 for $110.

I bought one from Walmart about 2 years ago for like $20 and works just fine. I throw it on every nite when I get home and it doesn't scratch the paint. Feel the material before you buy one and make sure it's like cotton otherwise it will tear your paint to shit.

I just covered my P5 today and put it in storage. I went to Big Lots and didn't see any regular car covers, so I got one of those giant blue tarps. I bought the 12 x 16 but it wasn't big enough so I had to buy another one, tape them together and then tie them down with ropes. It seemed to work okay. Hopefully everything will be alright when I get back from my trip.

I hope your keeping your car out of the wind and rain! Those "tarps" aren't made to cover youir car for a reason. They will hold moisture on your car and sratch the hell out of it if your not carefull. Good luck!! You would be better off with out them.
