Further to all the above, covers in the open or even part shelter are a "no no".
Have just recovered my cq from a 6 week period of storage where it was in a open door garage , with an outdoor cover ( but a fleecy sort of inner lining in it ) over the car. It fitted quite snugly, but with the constant gales we have had here recently, obviously the cover was "moving" and I noticed when I gave the car a wipe down this evening a few areas of 'flat' paintwork. Fortunately , not too large an area and in a not too conspicuous place ( along the top edge of the roof ) but a few months more and things would have been a lot worse.
Had a similar experience about 8 years ago with a T25 camper van, so I really should have known better but thought the protection offered from the no-door garage would make a significant difference. Wrong.
Best find proper storage if you have a valuable car.
