Car cover with a roof rack?
I've tried searching and finding solutions but nothing that specifically states it will fit. I don't want to have to remove the rack, but I would like to cover my car while I'm away. So, does anyone have a solution for a cover that will fit fairly snugly over a car with the OEM rack? My car is a coupe, and I really like the OEM cover, but don't want to buy it if it doesn't fit with the rack installed...
Any help greatly appreciated!

Go to pep boys or any auto place and buy the next size.
And make sure you TIE it down from side to side AND front to back.
I am VERY familiar with this process. I live in a " wind tunnel" and my covers have flown off a few times before I tied them down from all sides
Good Luck

I have seen people use them with added wings except for the GP wing style. But not with the factory roof rack, most just take those off. Like the antennas part thats removal (aka RC car antenna). 82110300266

Also, if I purchased it from ECS, test fit and it was horribly inaccurate, would it still be acceptable to return it?

yes.
