Convertable Top Cover Only
« on: November 30, 2010, 09:38:08 AM »
Does anyone know of a place that makes a top cover that only covers the convertable top, not the whole car?

I park outside and prefer to cover the top part only, I don't want to deal with daily removal and installation of a full car cover, and it's storage issues, and I want to use it at work as well. Keeps off the snow and ice, and protects the top itself.

Thanks,

Jim  :cool:

Used this cover for 2 1/2 years now in the Texas sun to protect the top from fading and the interior temps down!

Unfortunately the one they have that is close wont work with the top up.

Thanks though! Cool stuff there.

If I can't find one, I'll make one myself. I made my own upholstery for my GT, this would be much easier.

Looks like the seller has had them in tan as well which might be better in the sun anyway. It doesn't appear that he has any listed at the moment though so you might want to contact the seller.

He says he has more. I'll let you know what I think when I get it, but it sounded like the best one. Good price too!

Thanks,

Jim :cool:

Have been very satisfied with the performance here in Texas. Not sure about the SNOW factor. Stays on even in high winds, just hard to see out of the windows when driving!   :drive:

Well, got it on Friday, super fast shipping. I installed it on Saturday morning before heading to NYC for the night in the family truckster (Nissan Rogue).

Heavy winds and it didn't move despite not using the center security tab on it.





Thin, lightweight, and easy to install. It should do exactly what I want without trapping any moisture in it.

I say, for $55, it was a great deal!

I ordered it off E-bay. He has another one on there now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330505889798&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Works great, light weight, and comes with a bag.

They look awesome!  The only concern I would have is strapping it to the door handle...they are crappy as it is and any tension from the wind or pulling one side by accident while the other is attached could lead to needing a new handle.  They break very easily!
