Mike,
Have had a couple done in the past. They modifyed the original by
cutting a circle around the bars at the point it comes thru the cover
and
sewing in a new pc that is forms a sleevelike device with bungee sewn
into the top so when installed it ties tight with the bungee around the
bar
itself and becomes watertight,also. Looks quite decent and didn't cost a
whole lot
either
