Re: still at a dilmmea what to do with Rubi soft top ?
My raingear jeep cover just arrived to day. It fits great.
I like that it will keep the rain out even with the doors removed.

Re: still at a dilmmea what to do with Rubi soft top ?
I have the RainGear cover and it is awesome. I'll leave my top down all the
time and just throw the cover on while I'm not cruising around. Keeps the
rain out!

Re: still at a dilmmea what to do with Rubi soft top ?
I have the RainGear cover and it is awesome. I'll leave my top down all the
time and just throw the cover on while I'm not cruising around. Keeps the
rain out!
