    I was thinking about getting one of those gustbusters to put in the storage flap behind the front passenger seat.

    http://www.gustbuster.com/metro.html

    I'd like something real nice and sturdy that opens and closes automatically but will also collapse to fit in that storage flap....something 16" or shorter when fully collapsed. I'm not looking for an el'cheapo.

    What do you guys recommend?

    Not enough.
    REALLY?

    This is one of those questions that a guy isn't supposed to ask...Or shouldn't ask for that matter.

    You drive a truck. Relish in the rain and mud.

    I live in Oregon where it rains 8 months out of the year and there is no way in hell I'd have an umbrella in my car unless my wife is carrying it. Sometimes there is an umbrella in my golf bag in the back but it's only used to keep my clubs dry when I play in the rain, honest.

    Chuck norris doesnt need an umbrella, the heat from his body evaporates it before it touches him
