I have seen this discussed but have not found any real answers to this.

But has anyone found a Car cover that works on the tub style buggies ?

My Kyote has to sit out a lot of the summer and I'm looking for a car cover that would work on this style buggy

Does not seem to be any covers except custom made that fits.... Bough a cover for "small' car and its still to big... Considering taking it to upholstery shop and having it cut down...

Seem to remember somewhere, somebody was making custom covers, but brain is still asleeep...

I have been wondering if the "Razor" type side by side ATV covers will work. If they do, there's lots of options out there.

This one is a good dust cover, but they make also make covers with varying degrees of weather protection.

I have had two of Ricks and they are well worth it.

Having it next to a Budge cover in my garage it looks heads and tails better! It is heavier, better material and is custom fit. Hands down the best buggy cover.

I've had a top from Rick for close to 10 years. Has held up great and fits the Manx great.
T3sters, I think there's a lot more of us Texas guys on here that you may realize Wink

Here are a couple of pictures of the cover. The picture of a copy of buggies isn't my picture, I borrowed it from someone that bought two covers from me. I hope that is OK.

The covers are water resistent, not water proof. If water puddles it will drip though.

Thanks

Rick's not a rare Texan...He's a well done Texan and he sells a nice fitting Manx cover!
