Default Cab cover that works with light bar?

Hi all, any recommendations for cab covers that work with light bars? I can't slide a cover between the mounting bracket and the wind shield due to lack of clearance and the wiring from the lights, and the cab covers I see on line all slide over the windshield. Am I "stuck" having to get a full cover? My JK has gotten caught in two downpours this week - totally unexpected - welcome to NC. Would prefer some sort of quick easy cover vs having to put up the top every time I leave the vehicle. Appreciate any thoughts/feedback!

I use a Bestop Trail Cover and have a Rigid 50" with brackets, A-pillar D2s, and an AEV snorkel on my A-pillars. Just had to split the seam on the cover along the a-pillars to fit around the brackets. Still covers windshield, doors and top fine...no leaks.

I have that cover... do you have a pic? Do I need to hem the seam on each side? I thought about that and adding a few buckle straps to join the front to the sides.

Edit: Crap... I forgot I have the EXO-top with rack... that's why this won't work for me...

I was thinking about cutting the seams. Guess worst case is it falls apart quicker than normal......thanks!
