Yep, mines out 24/7. I originally had a John Taylor cover but after a year or so it lost all it's waterproofing and turned into a useless wet blanket.

I now use a cover from Cover Systems - a local company. It took a while to arrive, but it's proved to be much better than the JT one, and for not much more money. You can go for an uprated two piece cover if wanted, but I've have seen a need and have had no issues with paintwork.

It has some nifty features like door zips, so if you put the cover on and have left something inside, you can just unzip a door and get in.

I tend to keep the roof on from about October to Feb as it rains more often and the rain can pool on the tonneau cover area - however mine is a 4 seater to a bigger surface area.

I used to leave my car under this storm cover for weeks on end when crusing on my narrowboat. Multilayer, elasticated and breathable with under body straps plus further optional security strap. Soft lining so no scratches and better made than the dedicated Mog brands from what I've seen, cheaper as well. Fits in supplied valise for easy transport.

I just leave the car uncovered until the car dries up then put the cover on after a wipe down to remove grit, in other words treat it like any other car. Condensation can be a problem so with hood up I leave the sidescreens open under the cover and give the car a run as often as possible. Been outside for ten years , John Taylor cover in summer, over a tonneau cover and a heavy duty cover in winter mostly with hood up. Water in the plug wells needs to be avoided when uncovered depending what engine you have, lots of info on here.
