Miserable rainy day
Its been raining all weekend, so much for sunny Cornwall this week!
My car doesn't have a windscreen and I want to keep it that way, so what have you used to make the car driveable in the wet?
To add practicality I thought of an aluminium tonneau cover with canoe type spray deck covers to keep the rain out, door aperture seals around the
edge of the ally. This would also I could leave the car parked in the rain without coming back to a swimming pool. It may need a piano hinge down the
centre to make access easier.
Any further ideas, or refinements?

Looks like a decent solution to me. If i'm reading this correctly, i wouldn't like to have a crash with an aluminium sheet around me ready
to cut me in half......!
Where abouts in Cornwall are you?

I think ally for all except for the spray decks, can be painted to match the rest of the car and probably easier to make waterproof.
Oh yes, I am in Crowlas near Penzance

And how do you see the speedometer and other gauges?

Yep as the others have said, you'd need a perspex insert or head mounted display to see the gauges and in a shunt there is a good change you may
loose part of your anatomoy or have deep cuts in your torso.
I'd probably be concerned about that large metalic snail living on the side of you car too
