Does the job

At first I was concerned about the case as it looked like it would tear easily. But after more than a month of use I can see that it is quite durable if not abused. There were no instructions included with the cover and trying to figure out how to line it up on the Jeep took some trial and error. It wasn't until I took the cover off for the third time that I noticed a label sewn into one edge that said "FRONT". But once you get the hang of it and practice, you can slip it on and off in about 3 minutes - very handy for those unexpected downpours. It looks like the back of the case is engineered to fit the factory soft top and hard top. I'm not sure why it's designed that way, because if you're carrying a top, why do you need a bag? Therefore, when using this topless, there is a lot of excess material that can cause water to pool in a deep pocket. I slide it out and down and tuck it between the tailgate fenders and my aftermarket swivel bracket to ensure the water can drain. Water pockets also form at the top between the roll bars, but this is to be expected with all covers. It's easy to dip in, lift the pockets and pour out the water before removing the lid. However, be careful when removing the cover so as not to pour the remaining water into the cabin. The biggest disappointment, which can be seen in the product photos, is that the side panels don't reach the sills. . That means your seats and floor can get wet even without doors and topless. I could live with that, but the rubber straps need to hook onto the bottom edge of your door panels, and without doors there's no way to attach the sides to the Jeep. but that's easy to fix. Or you can just tie the drawstring in a half loop to keep the bag closed like I did at first. I had it for over a month and my jeep was topless the entire time. I cover myself with a cape if it's going to rain. We've had some pretty strong storms lately, over an inch of rain fell in a day, and although several gallons of water collected in the pockets on the top of the suitcase, not a single drop got in. Elastic straps keep cover in place in moderate to strong winds. As long as you know how to keep the doors open, this is good and affordable protection for your topless jeep.
