So for the apparent very little time you put your hood up, don’t replace it. Use a John Taylor cover when parked up in a town or overnight stop.en route. And save the expense this works for us : but presents problems when caught in very sudden heavy rain even with our easy up Mohair hood when as last Monday on the A12 I had to stop and in the time it took to stop, exit car etc seat was wet, shirt was wet and we sat in the car for 5 mins then no rain just spray to deal with.
