Default Interior Cover & Trim Ring questions

I have a '71 convertible I plan on taking to work from time to time, but don't want to put the top up while I'm working. I saw Covercraft makes interior covers and wondered if anyone had an experience with them or others?

Also need to replace my trim rings and wondered who to get from, Mid -America or Ecklers? I've never ordered from either, so looking for guidance.

Thanks,

Butch

These trim rings came from Corvette Central. I like them

Those covers work very well to keep the rain out but there is no security associated with them.

Unless you have a very secure parking lot at work and a very small workforce whom you know well, there is no way in He!! that I would park my car at work.

If you have done so successfully many times already, have at it. Otherwise, expect to have your paint 'keyed' sometime within the first two weeks. Jealous people do dumb stuff.

Is that a Covercraft one? Which model if you remember? Its a small lot to itself and I'm one of the first ones there, so I'd get a choice spot. 3 sides of the lot are surrounded by my building and there are some sweet rides in the lot. I'm only bringing it on Fridays as I get out at 5:30 and a cruise night I take part in starts at 6. Thanks for the responses!
