Hey everyone happy New Year!
I wanted to solicit some advice and see if I'm on the right track...
For a tiny bit of background: I live in the Denver area and hail is a real issue here. Additionally, I'm an airline pilot so my Bronco is going to be parked uncovered at the airport for 4-6 days at a time. Obviously not an ideal situation.
I'm not *really* worried about the hard top (I figure plastic will at least be able to withstand a bit of hail) but I'm really worried about the hood.
So here's what I'm thinking: Limb risers (I have a BadSquatch on order so will just but the roof rack aftermarket) and then some kind of good/padded car cover (any suggestions for covers - appreciated). Then I'm going to have a cut a hole in the cover so the parking folks can see my parking tag hung on my rearview mirror.
I'm hoping by throwing the cover over limb risers that'll create enough of a barrier that the hood should be mostly protected from hail.
I guess if the cover won't fit perfectly I can always add some cable and rig up some kind of mechanism to anchor it to the bumpers.
Thoughts? Am I on the right track or are there much better/simpler solutions?
Thanks for any/all advice!
