here's a few more options if you don't mind spending more...

I considered buying the roof cover on this page because it hangs halfway down the door to protect from dings, but I park in my backyard in direct sunlight, so I ended up buying the full cover to protect the paint as well. It's good stuff.

Ah...that looks nice

I don't mind the cost, I just want to make sure it's not taking up too much space when I'm travelling..

One of the other CR owners suggested this as an option as well (but costs twice as much)

http://www.autoanything.com/car-covers/60A3839A0A0.aspx

I have a full cover (2, in fact) at home for the car.. My primary concern is when I'm on the road and don't have the hardtop on the car. CR has no top so I'd like to have something covering the interior of the car when I'm away but also is convenient enough to carry with me when travelling.

Hey Mocky, I have one like this from Autoanything. It works well I have left it on all day at the restaurant with no issues.

I bought a "Cockpit Cover" from, I think, California Car Covers. Velcro straps around the windshield wiper blades, elastic loops for the door handles, and 3 straps that are designed to be closed inside the trunk lid. I just push these down under the tonneau cover. I use it a lot: I keep the top down for weeks at a time since I park indoors at home and work. The cover keeps the dust out.

So...wouldn't it be about 50x easier to put the top up? That's like wrapping yourself in a tunic instead of zipping ur zipper....

Since the car looks so unfinished without the "tonneau cover" it isn't really easier to take that off/on, then put the top up/down. Over the 10 years of production, Honda apparently never got convertible tops figured out. Other manufacturers figured out how to fold the top with an outside surface on top and the latches inside, but Honda never quite figured that one out. There's just something about those latch hooks sticking up like preying mantis claws that sucks.

I don't have a top either


Thanks for all the suggestions....I just need something that's quick to use, and also, I need something that I can put away very quickly.. do any of these include a carrying bag?
