I bought the same thing the original poster has (Mopar cover from Armor Auto). Seems fine to me. With my hinge-mounted mirrors, you can leave them as-is and get 99.9% coverage or take the 0.003 seconds to simply push them in and get the 100% coverage (no tools required). Photos of each option below. I have the Quadratec hinge-mounted mirrors, which I've been happy with.

do you have doors off with hardtop on?

 

[steffen707]

Take that out in the wind and then post photos of all the scratches from the rivets.

yeah I almost made that mistake last night. figured a different way to cover it while the freedom panes stayed in the garage to cure.

 

[steffen707]

Totally agree. Big oversight here. I'll have doors off WAY more than totally naked. Opportunity for someone to make it right, and sell it for a third of the price. I mean, it's a big custom tarp with some tie-downs.

did you find anything made yet that works?

My cab cover came in today 4 days earlier than they said. $168 out the door. Fits great with everything off but disappointed it won’t fit with the hard top on. I was hopeful it would fit with the back top on but it won’t quite seal over the front door opening with the back top on.

well its made for you to put on when you have the top off. but, i've looked on line for it and cant find it for sale. I only get hits for JL, JK cab covers

Kind of a trial by fire I guess. It is over the top and freedom panels so there is a gap at the front of both doors but better than sitting in this storm with the doors off.

Wow what a storm we just had here. I have a little weather station on my roof and we got .93 inches of rain in about 35 minutes with nickel sized hail. So much for 20% chance of rain today! I has just about stopped so I’ll have a cab cover performance report this evening. I was planning to take the top all of the way off since I have the cover now but the weather beat me tonight

 

[TennesseePA]

All total we got just over an inch of rain out of the storm and the only water that got is was where it didn’t cover the doors. Just wiped out the Mopar floor liners with a towel and that was it. I have my Steinjager mirrors on it right now and even with them it covers the front door opening very good

@TennesseePA that was one hell of a test report thank you

awesome pic and report. still so pissed that jeep didn't make it SLIGHTLY longer to fully cover with top on. oh well, not the first time i've been disappointed.

I wanted to add a morning after review of the cover. After the storm I took the cover off and then took the top off and reinstalled the cover. If you are fortunate enough to live down south where “the dew falls like rain” there will be some condensate moisture under the cover. I was expecting this but hoping for the best. If someone were to make a slightly larger and breathable version of the cover I’d definitely be a buyer. Going to see if I can rig up some kind of circulation under the cover to prevent condensation.

Thanks for the update, that is a bummer. I live in Texas and one the primary reasons I wanted this was to throw on at night to keep the dew out. Hmmm...

do you have doors off with hardtop on?

Doors off, soft top off (I have no hardtop).
