I am starting a new job at a place that doesn't have covered parking. This doesn't bode well for Moneypenny since I live in Phoenix where it's currently 109. I was looking at a Sunbrella or Coverking Silverguard car cover. Has anyone out there used one of these? Or has any suggestions?

 

Just get a car cover. If it is that big of a deal.

 

Look for a california pop top, I have one for my Z3 and it keeps the harsh sun off the interior bits.

 

I was in the same boat when my Company moved albeit it was Freeway Overpass Cover, but it was still covered, now Molly sits in direct sunlight. So I purchased these...


And these...


Sides and Rear Window Shades.

I grew up in AZ so I know how hot it can get, don't know if these are what you are looking for, just thought I'd share my own solution!!

 

Or maybe something like this? http://ecommerce.mossmotors.com/p/ne...cover/100-154M

Do you have a good heat-reducing tint on your windows?

 

Do not use a cover. It will ruin your paint. It will act just like sandpaper in the wind. Its a car. It will be fine in the sun.

 

I use a California Car Cover and it doesn't hurt the paint but you have to keep the car very clean. Maybe in Phoenix it would be worse, with the wind and sand. But I would DEFINITELY use a good sunshade on the front window, like the MINI one, tint the back windows, and crack the windows a bit. We were in Vegas last weekend, and it was over 100. Between our sunshade (below) and cracking the windows a couple of inches, the car was not terribly hot inside even though we were on the top of the parking structure! And if you have the sunroof, like the other posters said, cover that too.
