I can't imagine that expanded aluminum is waterproof. By "elements," I think they mean the wind and the sun.

I'm looking for something to keep the Texas sun off me when I put on tube doors and take the hardtop off (I know, it's he same sun as everywhere else in the solar system, it's just really hot here).

I talked to the guys at 4 wheel parts, who have it for sale on their web site. I was told that they were told in a recent sales meeting that availability was about a month off. I'm getting real close to pulling the trigger.

The concept looks nice but a multi-function rack might be a better investment? I did not see anywhere that we can put load on it despite it looks rigid.

I just got the spiderwebshade jkini last week and it should be something for you to take a look at. They have other versions as well if you want more coverage.

I would also recommend the spiderweb shade. It's awesome and a lot cheaper.
