California car cover also makes weathersheild covers for cobras. I have one of those two if I'm going on a trip.

Here's a thought.... Don't drive in the fricken rain! If you happen to see a storm blowing in head for cover ie home, gas station or under a bridge.

All these car covers have a "breathable" component so that the cover can be left on the car for long periods of time without paint damage, mildew, etc. Problem is, there's a tradeoff which is not being 100% waterproof...even the best ones are actually water "resistant". We Cobra owners have a different need, which is TEMPORARY coverage during unexpected heavy downpours.

Here in S Florida, fast moving storm cells come thru with no warning. Go for a drive, park to have lunch, then bam! Heavy thunderstorm rain drenching the Cobra's cockpit that the tonneau cover can't keep the cockpit 100% dry. I'd prefer not to have to deal with bailing out water and stripping out carpets to dry, etc. Just wondering if anyone has found a truly 100% water PROOF cover with a soft underside.
