A garage!
It's very rarely ever left out in the sun.
I would also have thought that another issue is also the heat building up in the car as well as direct sunlight. How would you get around that though?

been using it much more recently to go to work with the mint weather ,
looks like a beach towel will do then
i know what you mean about the heat build up in the car it does get pretty hot but i think covering it up will help

I have a piece of white cloth I bought from a material shop.
Looks much better than a towel & fits well, reflects the sunlight & acts as a background for the bumph I display at shows.
