I'm looking for a cab cover for when I have the soft top down, want to leave it down over night or at work. Problem is as you all know, summer thunderstorms bring heavy rains. I'm looking for a cab cover, preferably one to also cover the area when I go door-less. Now I've seen them out there, but as you know, I have a roof rack. It looks as though a cover will still fit under the rack. Does anyone have a cover, and was wondering how well it holds out heavy rain, or if it were really windy. Thanks in advance for the info guys.

I've got a trail cover (BesTop) and it does the job of keeping out the nasties. The kind I have doesn't have the door cover (I'm running with full doors), but I think they offer a door cover as well. There are alternatives, I think Mopar offers a trail cover that cover the doors as well.
The straps are adjustable, so would expect that it could accomodate a rack but you might be left flapping because it's not going to reach the tub all the way around.

I've seen that one, and pretty well priced. Plus a free hat! I'll check around alittle more, but will probably go with that one. thanks

I actually have that one and love it. I keep it in the car when I know I'll be out all day. that thing + the cloverpatch window roll = a nice day/weekend out. you won't be disappointed. The material is tough and seems like it would last a while also.

this product, plus the cloverpatch, plus a few bungee cords to hold them in place. . . you're set for a week of on and off weather. I always throw a few hefty's in the carry bag for the cab cover. just in case

wouldn't it be just as fast to put the top up then to put the cab cover on or unless you got the windows off, i guess it would seem to take some time to put them on. the reason is i only have a hard top with mind no soft top, so that's why i wonder what the different to put the top up or the cab cover on. time wise......

i forgot to mention ,wouldn't it be more inviting for thieves when they see the cab cover.just my The cab cover goes on in a minute or so but I use mine as more of an overnight thing while camping or parked under the beach house {North Carolina spiders.....don't get me started}. I can do the soft top in about 5-7 minutes if I'm hurrying. Not a huge time saver but when you are ready to go in the morning it beats having to do the whole top - just unhook it and pull. As far as theives go, if they want in they are getting in, hard top, soft top or cab cover - doesn't matter so why worry about it.... |
