Outdoor car cover
 
Any recommendations for a half decent outdoor cover to fit a V70?

Just a personal view ..... I would never use them as they can cause more problems than they solve. They restrict air flow around the car and sweat with dampness being traped underneath them. If you remove them it's virtually impossible to dry them out before putting back on. Get a carport if you can.

What he said ^^^^^^

Plus wind constantly whittling the cover fabric against the paintwork.

It’s more of a temporary measure until I get it garaged.

Plus mice getting underneath the cover and chewing things. I have a motorbike covered and the mice keep getting in it and nibbling away at the cover (and the electric loom behind the seat!).

Yes also the constant rubbing on the paintwork when the wind moves the cover marks the paint, OK for use indoors.

Agree with all of the above, don't bother.
