Toppless storm!

I took the top off my Bronco yesterday. Well it stormed last night! I plain on running topples till late fall. So I'm sure there will be more rain.
What can I do to lessen the damage of the rain?

Flip the rear seat all the way up and fasten a tarp around it.

My interior is Sprayed with bedliner and then has a thick rubber bed mat laid on the floor over that, unfortunately I still have leather seats. Now that I have my bikin top theres no need to remove top completely.

Park with the truck facing the prevailing winds and flip the front seats forward against the dash. This keeps the two front seats from getting as wet.

Ok, no offense fellas, but if you haven't experienced the unique feeling of having the skies open with your Bronco miles from its top, you simply haven't experienced Bronco ownership. (I believe the expression is "F'd and far from home!") Can't even remember how often mine has gotten soaked.
