For me? I opted to drill a hole and put in a drain tube, so if any water gets in, it'll go out the drain tube. Cost? couple bucks. :dance:


Hey, Handsome.

From out of the trunk and fully installed takes me less than 90 seconds (Yes, I've timed myself)

And the $100? The cover is bullet proof. It's very solid... and the "feel" of it resonates: It doesn't feel cheap.

That drain hole? Great move. I keep my drain holes clean and open... and 99% of the time don't drive in the rain (SoCal). However, for that $2 bucks... that's inexpensive insurance. Where'd you pick up that drain tube??

It's from a 911 headlight bucket. Part number 911.631.259

Pelican sells them and so do other sites.
