The price isn't that appealing, but from a form and function perspective ... I like the idea of leaving my targa top at home for semi-local drives and only needing a "near zero" weight temporary top in my trunk in case it rains when I'm parked.

Does anybody have one of these?

I know there's a DIY bungee cord and tent cover option someone is selling for cheaper - many have sang its praise. But this appears to be a more modern option, but at 2x the price.

Trying to weigh my options.

FWIW, over the years I've had three people that have called me to say they had only my cover on and their car got rained on and it stayed dry. There was some pooling though, and TBH I wouldn't recommend it.

Perry - I used your umbrella top when I borrowed Oscar’s car at WCR. Great way to keep the sun off the car as well as the rain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
