Question door opening cover ideahs

I was wondering if anybody has any good ideahs to keep rain out of the cab with the doors off.

i want to go with the doors off as much as i can this summer and my favorate time to ride with the top and doors off is right before and after it rains.

so i am trying to make something i could easily cover my door openings with during the actual rain.

soft doors take to much space, are over kill, and to expensive for what i want them for.

Any ideas would be great. Thanks

Do I understand that you don't mean driving while it rains, but protecting the Jeep as it is parked with the doors off?

If so:

know somebody who's decent with fabric? Get some waterproof/resistant fabric and have them make little half covers that secure to the hinges/doorframe somehow. Then you can just roll them up when you don't need them and stuff them under the seats.

make some covers out of a waterproof material of your desire and install snaps to it and around the door where you want. ......if you can stand drilling and screwing in the snaps as permanent installation. an upholstery shop could do this for.
