So I bought a full body cover and this is what happens…

Any recommendations for a cover that will allow me to keep my Wrangler topless? Also open to getting some sort of snap-in/rigid sunshade for those gaps which would create a surface keeping the water from pooling (I couldn’t find anything searching).

thanks all

It may not be the look you are after, but this is why I have the soft top for the warm weather months.

Generally I flip the top up for unexpected rain or any unpleasant bird droppings...

I have a soft top but I don’t love having to take off/put back the windows each and every time. My goal is to just have a cover which I pull off when I want to take it for a spin. Plus I do love the look of the Wrangler when you completely remove the soft top assembly and framing. So sleek!

I’ve seen beach balls above the sound bar. PVC pipe. And a golf bag support pole posted elsewhere.

I agree, it looks slick, but you can't trust Mother Nature. You can put the top up in “safari mode” to give the rigidity you need. Don’t worry about putting the windows in. My son did it a few times last summer, and everything stayed dry inside.

Usually I leave the windows out unless significant rain is forecast

Foam Nerf type balls above the sound bar raised my Mopar cover high enough that water didn't pool.

Somebody makes a flexible rod (like a dome tent pole) that goes from one side of the roll cage to the other creating a slight dome to prevent water from accumulating.

Here is a PVC diy version that you can make with a $10 trip to the hardware store and a hack saw. Slips on and off with no tools required.

I second the Rain Gear cover- awesome product made of heavy canvas. I get 2 very small puddles that I just empty by pushing up from underneath, but it wouldn't take much of a spacer on sound bar to eliminate even that if it bothers you.
