I just looked at that. I like it. I made a shortcut on my iPhone.

i have the bedrug, and pulled the plugs from underneath. it dries out after rain pretty well. i havent seen any rust/mildew problems and i run topless/doorless year round (for last 2 years), parked outside. BUT, I'm in northern california so it doesn't rain all that much. thumbs up for the trek armor seat covers.

to cover the electronics I use backpack rain covers - one for the steering wheel and one for the radio console. i bought some that have velcro straps/hooks and just hook them on to the air vents etc. keeps the worst of the rain off. i also drilled a couple small holes in the cup holders so they don't fill up.

This happened to me the first time scared the crap out of me when it went off. I found for the radio if you take it off the dash and unplug then replug th wireharnesses in the back it will work again.
