    I've been using one of the custom-fit Evolution (3 or 4 layer) covers for a couple of years now. During that time, the VX was parked outside. The Evolution was good for keeping tree sap, bird droppings, and UV rays off the paint, but it wasn't water-proof so washing the VX after it rained seemed like a good idea because dust that had landed on the cover over time would be washed through the material and end up on the paint. Even though the cover was custom fit, it would still move around a little when the wind blew, so leaving dust on the paint (between paint and cover) didn't seem like a wise idea.

    The evolution seemed to deteriorate quite a bit over time too. The material just seemed to pull apart, making it thin in spots and more susceptible to tearing.

    I think it depends on whether your VX is always outside or not. If it is, something like the Weathershield model might be a better way to go.

    Thanks for the input....

    I ended up getting the one from the E-bay VX section

    http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ISUZU-VEHICROSS-1999-2000-2001-SUV-CAR-COVER_W0QQitemZ190173526099QQihZ009QQcategoryZ5045 6QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


    VERY good for the price...about $75 delivered.
    Its not "custom fitted"..but fits well enough.
    Soft inside, durable,water resitant ( maybe even waterproof..dont know yet!)
    The carry bag it comes with is useless though...you'll never re-pack the cover to fit it!

    That's a fact. Mine made a nice golf-shoe bag though.

    I've been considering those on eBay too. I'll be interested to hear a real world review of how well they work.

    JoFo... is this the one you bought for your VX? (The link you posted above is for an old listing and doesn't come up anymore)

    I need a cover for the VX, which now spends a lot of time parked on the cul-de-sac. I just need something to keep the leaves and twigs out of the nooks and crannies (and the bird poop off) between outings.

    I've got one...

    I used it once or twice then stashed it away. Who want's it? It's tripple ply all weather type with a bag and cable lock. Yours for $75 + shipping from 21212.

    It's the Cover Craft custom FITTED 3ply all weather VehiCROSS cover.

    Its not "fitted'...but it fits real well.
    Soft inside...and seems pretty waterproof.....very happy with it.


    If the one navigator has is actually "fitted"...it sounds like a good deal.

    Covercraft makes a nice one $300, but stay away from color black because it fades badly.
