Angry Piece of crap cab cover!!

Has anybody else purchased the "JEEP" logo cab cover?? I got it as a quick fix when it rained so that my Jeep wouldn't get SOAKED when the top was down...WRONG! All of the water collects in a big pool on the top of the Jeep and eventually soaks right through...what a PIECE OF CRAP!! Anybody else having this problem??? Or better yet...a solution??????

Sorry to hear that Amanda, but the Bestop Trail Cover is the best way to go. Mine has been through Mid-West thunderstorms with hail and barely let any water in. The MOPAR (Jeep) one is thin like the rest of the MOPAR accessories. I have the Freedom Top bag, which is cheaply made and they still charged $80 for it.

Bestop works great. Water does pool up, but I crawl inside of it and push it up to move the water off the top of the JK--preferably before removing all of the retaining clips (otherwise it just runs right inside the Jeep!).

As for other Mopar top accessories: I have the Sun Bonnet (Safari top by any other name) and it's quite excellent fabric.
