Mini or temporary partial cover
I seem to recall seeing some company that manufactured covers for convertibles that were quickie install types for cases where the top was down and you were just stopping here and there for a few minutes and did not want to completely close the top. This small partial cover was quickly manually installed for those situations to protect the interior for those brief periods.
Does anyone know what I am talking about and are there any names/sources for this product?
Thanks,
Doug

I am actually only a few miles from both California Car Covers and CoverCraft (CoverCraft also has a local outlet store). Maybe I'll browse by when I get the chance and see how these things work. It just seems easier while out doing errands and stuff to stick one of these things on rather than going through opening and closing the top.

Sorry Doug, I do not have any. Never thought about pix with the cover on it. If it ever gets warm again, I'll take some, but I guarantee it is very easy to use and keeps the sun off the interior in warm weather.

The used to be called "tonneau covers".
Every pampered MGB/TR4/TR250/TR6/XKE had one.
Makes the car look tres sportif.
You can probably find examples on fleabay to get an idea of what they look like.

Do you happen to have a link to that cover? Been searching but I must not be asking the correct thing on the site. Model # would be good too!!
Thanks

I know this isn't "cool" but last summer in the sweltering southwest my wife and I just kept a white sheet in the back seat. When we would stop we'd lean the seats forward and pull the sheet up over them. That way we wouldn't get 3rd degree burns when we sat back down (I have a black interior). It took 5 seconds to pull the sheet over the seats. Now that you mention it, though, this year I might sew some elastic loops onto the sheet to hook over the rear-view mirrors.
In fact, now that I think about it, I might sew up something that looks a little better. It could hook to the top of the back seat and when we got out of the car we could just grab the elastic loops and hook them over the mirrors. That would stretch it tight. Hmmm... something to contemplate for this weekend (as if I don't have enough projects going on already).

I'm never that much of a hurry that I can't take a couple of minutes to put it on. Taking it off and stowing it is less then 30 seconds. Saves wear and tear on the top and keeps the interior cool and protects against UV light. Not to even mention the mega pollen recently. I just throw it in the washer once a year.
