Maybe you could have one made the upholsterers are used to making awnings, soft tops for jeeps/boats etc?

I bought one from Pitstop in Catalkoy a couple of years ago and have seen them in China Bazarr since then

I found car covers deteriorate quite quickly in Cyprus. The sun and/or heat make the covers brittle and they tear, break up. Better than nothing, but be prepared to replace fairly regularly if leaving the car covered under direct sunlight. I now garage my car with a cover over it. Not had to replace the cover for some years now, so it probably is the direct sunlight that does them in.

My [expensive!] experience is that the ones from Homebase [South] don't last more than a coupla three weeks before they fly to bits - obviously can't stand the heat/ultra-violet!

The question is: what material can, whilst not expected to be impervious, last a reasonable time in Cyprus?

If this can be established, then local upholsterers could tailor-make them to suit individual vehicles.

There is one for sale on facebook sales north cyprus to fit a focus sized car or you can buy in Girne round the back of tin pan alley kind of opposite Beyti restaurant. It's a car spares place. I cannot remember the name but the man speaks English and is very helpful. We paid 170tl for one to fit a Kuga.
