The weather finally warmed up enough to take my top off, and thanks to the "hat" I can leave it off without worry of dirt and sun damage. I origioinally went to an auto upholstery shop, but they wanted $400 to make one. I made this one from an MR2 cover I got from ebay for $60. Its held on in the front by the mirror pockets and windshield wipers, and at the rear by plastic suction cups. Check out pics at

I think its such a good idea, i'm surprised there isn't a similar product available commercially for "targa" cars. Let me know what you think.

Mike,

That is very cool!

, no pun intended. Great idea to use a car cover to start with. If your interior is black this has got to be essential on a sunny day with the top off.

I would do a patent search and patent it NOW, if you can!!

Man! from the amount of private emails i've gotten on how to make one, or if I'll make more, someone in the accessory biz should offer it. How about a "convertible" cover where the "hat" zips or velcro's out. That way you could use it either way.. full cover, or hat.
