Default Cab cover

Well it finally happened to me.... I got caught in a bad storm the other day with the top and doors off. So I started thinking how much I love having the top and doors off and how I could do that more. But the rain just wasn't fun at all!!!! So I thought about a cab cover.... So my question is what's everyone got? What's wor it and what's not? I want it to be water proof!!!

I just bought the rugged ridge emergency soft top. Water proof has a rear window that can be rolled up if you want to and the price was very reasonable on 4wd.com. Its a quick and simple install if you run into a storm, all it takes is some clips and straps and you are good to go!

I had the Bestop Safari cover. Worked ok but of you are stuck in the rain the water comes in from all corners.

Any suggestions if I ride with the factory top on (JKU) windows and doors off?

Haven't bought a new bikini top yet.

I've rode with the factory soft top up, no windows or doors and it wasn't too bad. You still get rained on, but not as bad. Most of the moisture comes from spit back from the tires.

Don't get the Mopar one. Doesn't cover the door openings and isn't water proof.
