The top is sealed and waterproof... But if you wanted to use it for a shower, I'd just cut a hole in it and re-sew so it doesn't tear.. Huum Sounds like you're after privacy not a place to stay dry. Or I suppose you could run some extra hose under it.... zip tie the hose to the interior support pole and yer done! Lots of options.. : )

The fabric is advetised as being waterproof and breathable, but It's more like water resistant. The fabric on the roof starts to break down from the UV rays of the sun in about a year and seems to have a life of about 2 years. I'm on my third cover, but that is the price that you have to pay when you want to take care of your investment. Happy camping....

The top inch or so should be kept out of the water. If the upper part gets wet, it won't hurt it, but it should not stay completely underwater

If you are referring to being water resistant. Mine hasn't been in anyway near water. I will think it's not water resistant.

Yes to all. The top as a zipper, and it seems very watertight/proof in my usage so far, including durign some heavy rain. The leather temporarily absorbs some moisture on the outside (looking even more black) but dries very nicely. BTW I thoroughly conditioned the leather with Leathery Honey before using it - maybe that helped.

I highly recommend it for a good mid range top. I have owned Jeeps in the past, and they all had Bestops on them. The build quality, and ease of installation, as well as snug fit keeps my cargo dry. If you have a drop in liner, you have the option of trimming the seal of the top or modifying the liner itself. I chose to leave things as is, and things still stay dry. One of the features that I like is how easy it is to roll up, and recover. Due to the bows being straight, and rolling right up with the fabric.

I did a few tests on it and it does look like its water resistance. I put my laptop in it and ran water from a faucet. I have been in pretty heavy rain with it, never longer than about 15 seconds, and it never got wet. Hope this helps!

I get maybe a few drops of water under the top when I go through a high pressure car wash just between the tailgate lip and the cover... other than that it appears to be near 100% water proof... normal rainfall seems to be kept out pretty well

It is water resistant depending on how long and how much water its exposed to.

I would say water resistant, had some pretty heavy rains and table underneath hasn't gotten wet

The top comes down over the sides, but can easily be blown upwards, and it is vented underneath, so if it rains and blows at the same time (which it often does), this would not protect the top from getting wet. If you need to keep the top dry this would probably not be the cover for you. Besides, as I mentioned in an earlier comment, our entire cover ripped to shreds in a matter of weeks, leaving the entire trailer exposed.

I would not say 'fully' water proof. I feel comfortable having if it is raining and I am not going to be out in it an extended amount of time. I will add though I am very paranoid about my gear getting wet so I might be overly cautious.

I suppose you could, but after heavy use it might develop some cracks or tears that will let water in. I wouldn't reccomend it unless you don't care about the $60, it isnt the highest quality bag ever, but it gets the job done and has lasted me quite a while with no major defects so far. If you want to leave it out I would at least cover the top with some plastic so the rain would run off instead of gethering and maybe seeping in. I've never tested the water-proof qualities personally so I have no idea how it would hold up over time.

It has a clear plastic cover on top and the rest of it is made out of material similar to today's luggage. So I would say it is water resistant but not water proof.

The top is very sturdy. Just make sure you put it it together properly and securely. I love mine.
