Rain cover out of ducktape
(see parts list at bottom)
1. Make a template of the control box face (I used a sheet of computer printer paper)

2. Measure around the top of the control box (the explorer se pro is 16” )
3. Cut 3 strips of duck tape to that size and stack them with a ½ inch over lap

4. Cut 3 more strips 1 inch lager and cove the glue on the first group of stacked strips making sure you have ½ inch left at each end

5. Fold the extra back over the ends to square the ends and make it look nice
6. Add one more 16 inch strip to the top allowing ¼ inch to be above the the stacked strips
7. Cut the vinyl using the template from step 1
8. Place the cut vinyl over control box face
9. Wrap the stacked ducktape around the control box and use a small piece of ducktape to secure in place (the ¼ section of glue should be above the control box)

total cost is under 75 cents and should take about 20 minuets to complete
 

This is a great DIY. Thank you so much! :icon_thumright:

A very practical idea, Frank. Thanks for sharing with everyone.
