Good Idea George. There is a great upholstry shop in town. Might stop by
and see them. Or next time I am in Dayton, OH, my father-in-law is an
upholsterer. He might be able to do it. I have been thinking also of a
design for an east-to-pack cover that would slip over the whole cockpit, with
a slot to slip over the windscreen. Magnets in the lining around to hold it
to the body. That would place a total sheet over the cockpit, covering the
tonneau and zippers in those times when the car is parked and hard storms
approaching. I have a tonneau cover bar that keeps the cover pretty tight,
but some pooling does occur in front of that, even though the cover IS tight.
