Hey there i need a car cover for my 69 Jeepster. i would get a soft top but no money for the soft top and body work at the same time. i still want to run my jeep without the hard top but i dont want to have to put it back on everytime theres little talk of rain cuz here in kansas you dont know what the weather is gonna do. but do any of you on here know what i should get? the guys at the auto part shop didnt know what to look for so im hoping one of you know what i should get.

Go measure one of the newer small SUVs and find one thats close to a Jeepster. They'll all be a little taller I think, but it doesn't have to fit perfically, does it?
I've acutally thought about doing the same thing, but not for foul weather, just to keep sticky fingers out of my jeep when its parked at the beach or in front of a hotel.
So far I've just been using Budds tarp idea. Works well so far.

Yep, parents & neighbors aren't big fans of the tarp plan. However, what I did might work for you -
I got a tarp, then basically cut & sewed it into a snug-fitting top that attached to the soft top snaps along the top of the windshield. It still held down with bungees, but it actually looked like it belonged there, not just a tarp flapping around. I think it took me about an hour or two to cut & fit, and I already had the snap & grommet kit.
Good luck.

Has anyone else seen the car commercial where the car cover is painted up to look like an old beater. Then he pulls it off and his new car is under it. Now that's what I want! Course the old beater that the car cover would be designed to look like would probably be my Jeepster

I went to walmart and bought the small car cover for about 30 bones. It fits almost perfect, height, length, etc. I have had it for two years but I think they still sell them. It has kept it dry every time except in one storm when I put it on as it was raining. For some reason it got saturated. Still worked during the next storm. Try it to see if you like it before buying a pricey one.
