If your cover is ADCO or something similar, it is advertised as being "water resistant and breathable" - not waterproof. Even with a slight pitch to the cover, water will eventually penetrate the cover and sit on the roof.
Over time, through exposure to the elements and UV, the cover will become less and less "water resistant" so there isn't much you can do with an ADCO-type cover that will keep your roof dry.
A Sunbrela cover will offer better protection but it is considerably more expensive and it may or may not be totally waterproof.
