No its not attached in the back and it barely isnt covering the front doors because I didnt have it pulled over all the way.

I only had it on there for a pic. I didnt want to do all the staps just to show what it looked like. It seals right up when installed like it should be.

Admirable, but I'm trying to help the economy...

For the bargain hunters, head to Menards.
They had the diamond fabric covers for "mid-size SUVs" on sale for $28.

Bumper to bumper, all the way down to below the door sills, covered the spare, antenna, and mirrors.
I was thinking about making my own, but $30 is crazy cheap for something to protect against surprise showers and overnight dew.

I might modify it down the road to cover just the cab, but it certainly does what I need it to.

As for functionality, both Bestop and Covercraft do a great job of keeping water and wind out, thjey both have been through some nasty storms the past few weeks with no ill effects.
Hey BaltChief - Do you have the Weathersheild or NOAH?
