for rain protection when parked or driving.Just thinking you have a fair bit of through ventilation without wishing to be rude.This may affect a cover
when driving.
Mind you on a rude point what do the Motaleira in reverse girls do ?

I am thinking of a purely wet weather driving tonneau, probably with twist fastners so it won't come off. Also to have sections that cover the
head rests but sections roll back on either side for driver/passenger access. I want the sides closed in as well. It needs to be tough and not too
flappy in the wind.
I got caught in the rain recently, luckily spitting, but i would like to use the car more.

Not being rude, but you made that and you want someone else to make a little bit of cloth? Surely you could make one?

Excellent, that is not that far for me. Maybe I can drive there for them to make a pattern and go back when it is finished, for fitting.

Nick has sent me a couple of progress pics. I should be picking the car up this Monday.

Yes!
Drove home through all the slushy leaves from pulborough, no problem and the wind on me was seriously reduced.
