Boondock,
You are concerned about not being able to see behind you with the boat windshield covered. The solution is very simple. Just install a rear facing video camera on the rear of the boat - looking backward. It is easy to install one on a ram mount and make it a wireless one for easy pick up in the towing vehicle. If you don't already have a video capability in the tow vehicle, just pick up an inexpensive video monitor to mate wirelessly with the rear facing video camera on the boat. When I towed with a motor home, I always used the video camera to see what was going on behind the camper, or anything that I was towing. One example: https://www.amazon.com/iStrong-Wirel.../dp/B07H3PGBYB+ p.s. Some folks install the rear facing camera on the dash of the boat behind the windshield on one of the depth finder mounts that are normally stored when not fishing. This would open up the mount to use as a video camera mount. Then, it is also ultra easy to use the boat's 12 volt power to power the video camera.

I purchased a Truxedo in September on Ebay. I second time I used it I took it off and folded it in half and put it in the back of my vehicle. It ended up with an empty cooler on top of it. When I took it out at the end of the day the silver side had a 6=8" split in the material and foam. I went back to the seller who went back to the manufacturer who said they would replace it.
If you have one I'd suggest rolling it up rather than folding it when not using it to avoid this problem.

Well, I messaged with a rep from Truxedo today and asked about the proper way to use the windshield cover. She said, "felt side out.... the water beads off the fabric". She also said the best way to store it while not in use is to roll it up. I asked her the reason for having felt side out and she said she'd need to consult with her engineers. I thought, hmmm, nobody's ever asked that question before??? She said she'd email me with an answer.

The first season I used the Tux I ran the foam side out and the wind vibration caused the felt to rub the paint off of my 621 windshield frame. That may be the reason they say foam side in. Now into the second season the foam has broken where the straps are sewn in. This is certainly NOT a durable product but now real expensive either.
I use it to keep the bugs off of the windshield so will probably look at something else next time as this is a disposable product.
