Weatherproof cover (1 Viewer)

Where is the best place to get a waterproof cover for my FJ40? I have the hard top off and half doors and want something to keep the pouring rain out. Just looking for function not beauty. Thanks!

If you want WATERPROOF and long lasting, buy some Marine Sunbrella fabric on Ebay and sew it up yourself using Sunbrella thread. They have 10 year no-fade no-rot warranty on the material. I make my own car covers that way and they last many times longer than anything I have ever bought as a "car cover".

EDIT: After submitting the answer above, I went to Ebay and searched "Sunbrella marine" and found that some Textile company has hijacked the word Sunbrella in their listings by using the phrase "Sunbrella like". As nearly as I can tell, their product is not an acrylic like the real thing. You want acrylic. Sorry I misled you on a source.

Has anybody on here tried this cover in pouring rain? Does it keep the bulk of the rain out? Thats the reason I want it, just so I can take it off and drive with my cloth seats after a big rainstorm.
