Default cab cover

Does anyone use a cab cover over night very often? I have the hard top and want to take it off on weekends and just cover the cab during evenings or during storms and wondered if anyone else did this and if so which cover you use. thanks for your help.

I use a Bestop cover during the summer months just to keep neighborhood cats out and birds from pooping on my interior. It has panels that cover down to the rocker panels, for when you have your doors off.

The material is awesome. It's very heavy gauge stuff.

The fit is just OK for my two-door. The cover does the job, but the fit around the soundbar section of the sport-bar is very tight and I can usually only get 4, maybe 5 of the 6 "clips" secured for the back half of the jeep. The front half of the cover fits just fine and secures to the rocker panels.

It's completely waterproof and has handled some rain a-ok.

Bestop trail cover is the best way to protect your Jeep.

I bought the smittybilt one for my 2dr jk. It looks great and the material looks durable. We have had lots of storms in the past two weeks and I couldn't be happier with this cover bc my interior is completely dry.plus I bought it on sale at 4wheel parts for $79

Thanks guys. I was lookin between the bestop and smittybuilt so it's good to hear both are making people happy. I guess I'll just make a choice and order then. Seems I should be good either way.

Spend the extra coin on the Bestop.
