Cover for '63-'64 SF convert's

Anybody have a custom cover for his or her convert? Was hanging around Covercraft site (I have a couple evolution 4 covers for other vehicles and like 'em) and they say the same cover fits the coupe, sedan, and convert (although the catalog says it doesn't fit the convert, the guy said it would). It doesn't seem to me it could fit all three perfectly, since the 2-dr & 4-dr roof lines seem so different. I don't want a "sagger"!
Anybody have any experience with this? What cover are you using on your 63-64 convert?

I picked-up a Wolf Evo cover on eBay for my 67 Delta 88 conv... would probably fit a hard top a little snugger, but fits the body pretty good. I'm way too cheap to go the "custom fit" route.

I'm trying to remember what brand cover I got for the green 64, but I have never really liked it. It's a custom fit but the fabric it's made of is slippery as hell when you're trying to install or remove it. It will slide against itself and end up on the garage floor.

The Toro had to have a custom-fit job because of its size and shape, but the Hurst and the Ninety Eight have Budge generic-size parts store covers that work just fine for them in the garage, and the Ninety Eight has worn its cover outdoors a few times. Think I paid less than $50 for each of them. And they don't slide off the car onto the floor.

Fabric vs. Fit

Thanks all for the tips.... as I mentioned, I'm sold on the Kimberly-Clark "Evolution" material. I have one for the Corvette and it does everything I need it to do. I guess I should decide whether I want to spring for a "custom" cover if it's not really custom.
