I've used both the CoverCraft Noah, and the CoverKing Stormproof covers. The Covercraft Noah is a thicker cover and has more seams than the CoverKing brand covers. More seams usually means a better fit, but more opportunity for leaking. A thicker cover gives you better falling-debris protection. I stored my car for two full winters before the Noah gave out and started leaking. Before the failure, I was loving that cover. if you are only an occasional cover user, it will probably be fine.

The CoverKing Stormproof is on my car now. It is made of a MUCH thinner material (almost like a windbreaker) so it rolls up much smaller for stowing it away, but you sacrifice the falling-debris protection that you get with a thicker cover. I think it fits as well if not better than the CoverCraft cover. It has a lot less seams. It does not rely on any weatherproofing additives. It is just such a fine weave that nothing can penetrate it. I have found that the cover will get condensation bead-up on top of it and will get the car wet when taking it off. The Noah cover doesn't have that problem. The Weathershield cover is rated a step better than the Noah so if you want to spend the extra cash, I'd imagine you'd be OK with that.

Be aware that you cannot take a cover off a car easily during a very cold winter. It freezes to the car in places and trying to remove it will damage either the car or cover.

BTW, I have a 1994 900 Convertible.
