Default Temporary rain/dust roof???

Anybody use one of those fold up, temporary, quick on-off, canvas roof panels that you just use when you park? I was thinking about ordering one for the quick dashes to the store, or even to leave on the car in the work parking lot on the days you are not quite sure about the weather. Also might be good for the days the lawn guys are at work blowing your car full of grass. Just wondering if they were worth a flip?? Yes, I know they are ugly. Link below...

I had never even seen one before and now that I just don't think I'd have a use for it. If it's raining I'll put the roof panel back on.

I bought the cover that extends from the back glass over the roof (removed) and over the wind screen. Have used it in the garage once, as it's white, it will help keep the car cooler, too. Have not used it at work yet, but have it in the hatch if we get some weather where I'd want to keep the top off all day. Only 100 bucks, but figured I'd use it far more than I have, or should I say haven't. Probably would not buy it again, but will see how the temps are in the early fall. Either too hot or too likely a chance of rain so far this summer.
