Hi, I got my CMM offroad mirrors on order and I'm ready to rock the coming season with no doors, and just run my soft top safari style. So i need a Cab/trail cover to throw over to save my interior when parked. Issues I'm seeing is fitment with the Soft top roof still on. I'd like to escape the sun or rain if it gets extreme just in case. Any recommendations? I'd like to keep it under 250 but still want a solid product. I'm not against a 60 dollar amazon deal if it works well though. Also any idea on if there are cheap throw away seat covers? something to tear up all summer and toss when winter comes? buy new again next season? TIA

I've one of the amazon specials, will most likely get a better one soon. It fits but not very well and ripped the corner of it after couple years of use. So does it work, sure but had me wishing I had gotten a better one. Granted I didn't think I'd be driving it topless as often as I ended up doing. If you've the money get one of the better ones, if not the cheap one will do in a pinch and will keep it dry 99% of the time.

Edit: I've my eye on the bestop cover at the moment for what it's worth.

I keep my truck in a garage so I only need it for trail use and my work parking lot. Would the amazon one cut it then? if so, link?

Doesn't seem the one I had is sold anymore, although it was a style with trail mirror covers and just covered the cab. There are a handful for 50-60ish range for those on amazon. Mostly all the same style, I'd look for reviews of people that say it actually fit though on those cheap ones. I've heard of some people buying covers that were being passed off as fitting the Gladiator but really don't.

As far as what you are going to use is for, yeah will be fine. Mine was used mostly as overnight cover on the weekends or for say something like if hiking as a just in-case it rains and I'm miles away in the woods. I have top off more often then not during the warmer months on the weekends. Went through some good storms without getting it wet inside.
