Friends: 11 | Places like AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts have them. You don't need one especially made for the Prius. I got a generic one, add a bungee cord underneath to snug it up, and it fits just fine. |

Friends: 11 | I would think that the Gen 3 cover would also fit the Gen 2 Prius. Edit: You can order by model year and they have them for Gen 2. Covercraft Noah Car Cover Last edited by dogfriend; 10-01-2009 at 11:02 PM. |

Friends: 11 | The one I got has a vent where the antenna would be. Since I have the sharkfin it is not an issue. It is something worth checking out when you get the cover, though. Or you can just unscrew the antenna if you don't mind the hassle. |

Friends: 0 | I have a Coverking Silverguard Plus for my 2009. Very satisfied with it. For the antenna they have it shaped to cover it. |

Friends: 9 | In case it hasn't been mentioned to you: You realize you should never put a dirty car under a cover? The wind will blow the cover around and rub the whatever is stuck to your car (which will act as an abrasive) into your paint, causing paint damage. |

Friends: 0 | I myself don't beleive in outdoor covers. As mentioned above, wind can whip the cover around and scratch the paint. And what do you do if it rains and the cover is soaked? roll it up and take it with you? |
