Adequate, but the Large size doesn't really fit my Honda Fit Sport. I have had it one day so I can only review the size and fit. It is very lightweight, but that's what I wanted. I have one of the expensive, 5-layer kind and it's so heavy that I can't put it on the car without a step ladder (I'm short). This was much easier to throw over the top of the car.
I'm in San Jose, CA and am only concerned with bird droppings and dust so this will work for me. I can't say how much protection this will be in other weather conditions.
But it is not made for a mini hatchback-style vehicle. It is much too long at the ends, but doesn't cover the car on the sides. It stops about 6-8 inches short on each side (even with the mirrors folded in). The Fit Sport is considered a mini car, but is too tall for this cover. If you want full coverage you will have to look for some kind of SUV/minivan style.
They included a piece of lightweight rope to put through the side grommets, but the rope would rub against the sides of the car so I doubt that will be helpful to me. It has elastic, but only on the ends, and a very long loop of fabric at the back end to stuff in the trunk. This isn't helpful on my style of hatchback. I am wrapping it around the license plate holder and hopefully this will help somewhat to keep it in place in the wind. I will need to cut a hole for the roof top antenna and that should also stabilize it somewhat.
I'm keeping it because it is inexpensive, lightweight enough for me, and adequate for dust and bird droppings (and I hate doing returns). There must be better covers for this style of car, but probably higher in price.

Bestop 81037-37 Spice All Weather Trail Cover Review

This weather top is exactly as advertised. It keeps out all weather and keeps a topless Jeep cool on those hot summer days in the parking lot. It takes about 3 minutes to put on and is very easy. Taking it off is a little more difficult if you want to keep it folded and ready for the next time you need it, but still only takes about 4 minutes.
I'd recommend it to a friend without reservation.

Bestop 81036-09 Charcoal All Weather Trail Cover Review

Bought this in April in preparation for summer. Used it in May several times with the same results.... a wet interior. Water pools in the top over the cab and you have no way of emptying it out so it ends up inside all over the seats and interior. Can't return it to Quadratec as it's more than 30 days old. Wrote to Bestop for a remedy or refund and got the following reply:
"I apologize that the Trail Cover is not meeting your expectations, however that is normal for the Trail Cover to pool water above the front seats as there is nothing there to allow the water to run off the cover.
Regarding your request for a refund, you will need to call Quadratec for that, that is between you and them."
Thank You

PLEASE REPLY WITH PRIOR COMMUNICATION
They sell a defective product and don't care. They admit that it pools water. I would never by anything from them again.

This cover more than meets my expectations. Easy on and easy off. Heavy duty material. I can leave my jeep without the top on for days at a time without concern for the overnight rain.

Rugged Ridge 13321.01 Weather Lite Cab Cover Review

Rugged Ridge 13321.01 Weather Lite Cab Cover

I have a Jeep CJ7 with a hard top. In the summer, it sports a bikini top or goes topless. This cab cover did a LOT to keep the inside of my Jeep from getting soaked. I recommend using this with a bikini top, as it is NOT water proof and rain water will sit in the dip between the windshield and roll bar and eventually all drip through onto your center console. In the rain, you will get some water coming through all around, but it is minimal. Protects well against wind (leaves blowing into your Jeep, stuff blowing out of your Jeep), bird droppings, sun damage, etc. Included straps secure cover well in windy conditions. Installs easily (you may want to mark which side is which so you don't start putting it on backwards) and fits snugly. This is a VERY useful product for bikini top weather!
NOTE FOR CJ7 OWNERS!
This cover is NOT intended for the CJ7, but works fairly well. The back sags because of the difference in the roll bar, but otherwise fits well. If you use this product on a CJ7, you will want to adjust the cover so it doesn't collect water over the back seat area. You may want to actually sew the cover to be a little smaller to fit the CJ roll bar.
