My Sky spends most of its time with the top down. The rule is "Above freezing, and not raining." I don't like to leave it sitting outside, everyone knows the sun is hard on the interior, and the seats get too hot. I also don't want to put the top up every time I stop for more than a few minutes. The weather seals have to wear out eventually, and I would still need a windshield sun screen to protect the dashboard. A tonneau cover has the problems everyone has discussed, and it doesn't offer any protection for the weather seal at the top of the windshield frame.
So, I made this cover. I have heard rumors that a similar cover is available from Kappasphere or some unnamed vendor, but have not been able to find one.
If anyone knows a source for a cover like this, I would love to hear about it.
Until I find a "real" cover, I'll keep working on this one, so any suggestions, criticisms, comments, etc, are appreciated.
One question I'm working on is the way to hold the cover over the doors. I have thought about looping a strap around the door handles, but that's one more thing to fasten/unfasten. I've thought about putting magnets in pockets along the edges, but I'm worried about maybe scratching the paint . For obvious reasons, I don't want snaps. So, suggestions ?
