What about this?
MG MGF TF SOFT TOP ROOF HOOD HALF COVER - BLACK - 123
More than I wanted to pay, but then I only want to protect the soft top really (and window seals maybe).
Anyone got one?

I have one of these,thought it was great to start with,easy to fit.
After a years use it faded badly due to the sun,and it has a pvc type lining on the inside,this cracks and splits .
You can see light through small pin holes from the inside,these then let in water,but then does not allow the car to dry.
I have tried to restain and waterproof with soft top products ,but it does not take recolouring as well as a normal soft top.
When I need to replace it I will try this one.

As I don't use the car in winter, and it lives outside ,I put the rain cover on,put a cotton throw over the boot and bonnet, put a lined cover over these -
Then put a cheap PVC one on top,using extra ties on both to hold taught,as this prevents scratches.
Inside I place 4 damp absorber crystal packs,which need emptying after a couple of months as they take up well over 2 liters of water from the air .
Come spring the car has no mould or damp and is as good as it was before being put into hibernation.
You don't need to spend a fortune on a cover,as they don't last too long .
