Default Emergency Rain Cover

Here's the scoop... I have a commuter car. My Jeep is a play vehicle. I run it all the time with the top and doors off. The interior is Raptor lined. It's time for me to grab an emergency rain cover. I'm not looking for perfection here. Just something to keep my junk from getting soaked.

Ideally, I would like it to cover the doors (2 door) and be able to drive at low speed in a pinch. Maybe that combination isn't possible.

I would also like to hear from someone who has driven doorless in the rain with a regular non-door cover. How wet did you get both driving and parked.

Tell me about my options and what you people with experience recommend.

I just got bestop trail cover. Although i have not seen rain with it i assume i would do very good. Same material as soft top and clips in like soft top. There is also raingear jeep. Have no experience with it but i looks good. I email them with some questions a few times with no response so i chose no to use them. Good luck

I have the Bestop trail cover and it works great keeping out the elements. I take the doors and drop the top all the time. Just used it again yesterday just before it poured. Highly recommended.

If you have a hardtop, you can leave just the freedom panels in to protect the front seats. It will save you when top and doors are off and it rains. I do this whenever there is a chance of rain..
