Now I've done up the seats and replaced the carpets on the SD1 I was
wondering about covering them up from the sun - obviously only when not
in use - as the car is parked on the road in full sun for most of the day.
But what to use? A standard well washed dustsheet? Or anything more
sophisticated that preferably takes up little room when folded?

I would be interested in the answer as well as I don't have any cover for a
car I'm fetching Saturday.
Does anybody have any thoughts on these all over breathable car covers I see
advertised in PC for instance.

I was thinking more of an interior cover - just for seats and dash etc.

An all over cover does scratch the paint when its being removed/replaced
or air movement.

Why not make up some sunscreens for all the windows? Get some thermal blackout
blind material and cut it to shape, then attach some suction cups or velcro
fastenings to the edges and attach to all windows when not in use.

This has the added benefit of keeping it a little less hot inside in summer so
when you use it it's a bit cooler to get into.

I suspect the rearmost side windows may be a bit fiddly to get at but maybe
through the hatch?

Couple of blankets.

Do it Aus style and cover the dash and seats in horrific carpet style
covers...
