Top off, doors off and rain

[shrinkhead]

Let's say you take doors and top off in the summer and don't have access to a garage to park it overnight. Do the rain covers sold by MOPAR do the job right and keep the car dry? I want to take everything off but not reassemble all the time rain is approaching and my garage does not have enough clearance and I really don't want to lower my gladiator

I am not sure about the Mopar covers but I have had a few of the Bestop covers and they worked very good for me.

I have the mopar cover and used it for the first time about two weeks ago. Soft top fully removed and front doors off. It works, but be warned it does sag and is hard to get off the car if wet and dripping.

It comes off quick but is pretty tight and took a little bit of time to get on.

I have a Mopar cover and my only gripe is it will sag and hold water in a long rain I even have sun shades on but still holds water, I'm now in search of the next solution for that problem. Like everything else it's never enough

A big tarp and some bungees would work in an emergency.
If you have the space get a carport kind of thing. Or open up your garage a bit.

I have top/doors off from usually July through September. My truck won't fit in my garage either. I use a Rain Gear top and it works flawlessly. After big rains, I have to push some puddled rain out of the middle of it, but it's not bad. I can put it on and take it off in ~2 minutes. Never had a damp seat last year - haven't yet this year.

I use the Mopar cover. It works pretty well. Only time you'll get a little wet inside is if you have the doors off and you do not pull the cover all the way down.

I think Jeep suggests a towel wrapped around the roll bar.

Another option, put a pole between the console and the top, similar to how you cover a boat. I use this which works great with the big plastic base:

That looks like a great idea

In another thread I read about someone putting a pool noodle above the soundbar....

I have a mastertop cover that will fit with or without the top on. It’s overkill and thick but works beautifully. Lives in the bed.

I bought a cab cover off Amazon and it does the job. I have an alien sunshade installed too and that helps with the sag or pooling of water. I love it, I just Come out in the morning pull it off and instant bad a$$ery.

I bought this one for nightly covering when naked and to throw on before pop up rain storms. Its perfect and I LOVE IT! Goes on and off quick and easy, folds up small. Keeps all the rain out. Something happens to this one, I'm immediately grabbing another.

I run a 60 dollar amazon cover. works great

I have the MOPAR cover, works great on both Jeeps! (Funny thing that the JT cover fits my '05 TJ as well...) And yes, the instructions say to put a towel on sport bar to prevent collecting/holding water.
