Re: cockpit/cab/trail cover
Rain Gear Jeep Covers (http://www.jeepcovers.com). Theirs cover the entire
door opening. I bought one. Fast shipping, great product. My only
complaint is that the straps aren't made to attach to any one point, really.
You just find the best place, clip and tighten. I do really like mine! Not
to mention, they have a variety of colors.
Oooh, and don't forget the spiffy bag it comes with (and I got a free hat!).

I hope their product is better than their website.

Re: cockpit/cab/trail cover
The website looked good enough for me to order one yesterday. We will see
on the quality, but I am hopeful.

Re: cockpit/cab/trail cover
I've got one too. They do work great, although I wish the straps by
the mirrors were moved forward of the slit.
The main thing to remember when using this cover is to cinch the front
and rear straps first and taught. If you don't get it streched front
to back little puddles will form over the driver and passenger seats.
This makes the cover difficult to remove after the rain has stopped
without getting either yourself or the seats soaked.

Re: cockpit/cab/trail cover
Yep, it came in pretty quick. It is in a nice bag about the size of your
average sleeping bag. The material is like a heavy tent fabric and sown
well. I am pleased with the quality for the price paid.
I can't speak to how it fits on the Jeep since mine has been in the shop all
this time. Hopefully, it will be out this week.

Re: cockpit/cab/trail cover
I found an easy way to put it on and take it off after you get it on once:
1. Unhook all of the straps and undo the velcro slits by the mirrors as
well as getting the front out from under your windshield wiper blades.
2. Fold the left (or right, just be consistent) door all the way to the
middle, working your way from front to back.
3. Do the same to the right (or left...) side.
4. Open the tailgate and stand on it. Grab the folded pieces in front of
you and start rolling.
5. As you roll, just pull it towards you.
When you're done, it is folded to the perfect size to fit in the bag. I
became pretty proficient at this out of necessity since we had wierd mid-day
rain showers a lot last month (or at least were predicted...). It works
even better with a safari top on since you don't have to fight dragging the
front half towards you as your folding.
