Thumbs up GLO Custom Instrument Covers for RV's with Tip-Up Canopy

RV tip-up canopies are great for an unencumbered view, but by design expose the back of the instrument panel to the elements when the canopy is up.

I wanted to let people know that Grady O'Neil's wife Angie is making instrument covers for RV's with tip-up canopies. He does not promote this because he doesn't want Angie to get overwhelmed. I bought one recently and I'm extremely happy with the product. Mine is white, however it is available in other colors. It was easy to install. It provides protection from the elements when the canopy is up and gives the back of the panel a nice finished look.

Buzz, how are these covers attached to the aircraft and are they leak proof?
Thanks.

Attached with good ole velcro, definately adds a finishing touch to the tip up and will also help to keep the area dry but not sure if the cover is actually "waterproof".

Here's a pic of the "old" panel with the GloCustom cover installed:
