Default Temporary soft top

Anyone know of any temporary soft tops that can be attached and taken off, possible stored in the trunk. Been unable to find any info and am sure I won't. Dam cr, can't really ride with the top off and park, without having to worry.

I've thought about having something like this custom fabricated. It wouldn't be much for actual security, but more for keeping the elements out when parked temporarily on excursions without the hard top. I figure it could use some sort of snap-in attachments around the rear, and across the windscreen. Haven't figured out if it would work best with windows up and some molded weatherstrip around the top of the window, or windows down somehow fitting in between the current window weatherstrip.

I had something like this in mind:


I figured a custom interior shop would be able to put something together, I'm just not sure how much effort I want to put into the project.

there's a thread on this, you can buy a custom fitted top made of sunbrella ($160) from covercraft.

Car covers are great, but don't attach to the vehicle (unless you tie them down, usually under the car, which can get tedious). Additionally, I find that if you cover a car in a public space, there's always some curious asshole who wants to know what's under the cover, and rips it off without any regard to the vehicle underneath.

Has the sunbrella cover. I bought from them, and it fits perfect, like an OEM accessory. I use it with my CR
