Re: Does your Jeep have vinyl or cloth seating?
But no doubt someones been out driving without any tops on and the rain was
hard enough that it gets the surface of the dash wet.....anyone got a method
of covering the dash to keep it dry?
I notice my passenger airbag switch has a cover (it's tight, but doubt it's
waterproof!).

Re: Does your Jeep have vinyl or cloth seating?
Everything is NOT waterproof. Water resistant, maybe. Water in the
instrument panel is not good.
