Does anyone make a temporary roof panel?

I'm thinking of something that could be quickly clipped in whilst the car is parked for a few hours rather than keep putting the main roof panel on to keep dust etc at bay?

i use my half cover to do that, does not keep out thieves, but it does keep out dust, rain, cats, birds poo, and the odd chucked in ice cream or kebab

Half covers don't keep out determined cats - see my "Cat Damage" posting...

so does mine, but i have a half cover and 2 full covers :-)
although i am going to make a gazebo type covering for it this weekend
suppose what you really need is a full size golf (tvr) umbrella, that would work!

I don't know what it is about Chims but our 2 cats can't wait to jump in as soon as a door/boot/bonnet is opened - mind you they exit pretty quick when I fire her up hehe

Back to the roof - I had in mind something really quick eg:

Unfortunately this one isn't quite big enough.
