Default Lightweight top-down cover?

I was wondering if anyone makes a lightweight (i.e. not a full) cover for use when the top is down and you don't want to put it back up but you want to protect the interior from the rain and/or sun. Has anyone heard of such a thing?

Called a tonneau cover. Snaps on and just covers the cockpit. I have one for my MGA, but have not seen them for the XK. One would have to drill the snaps into the car.

No snaps would be required since the cover folds over the windshield.
Notice the tie straps attached to the door handles. Good design.

Jaxkr, so where did you get the cockpit cover? Seems like a good solution.

Had one years ago for an MGA that could stay on but zippered open to allow for driving with it in place.
