You appear to have sacrificed the jack well... but I suppose it's simply a case of cutting a slit around three sides of the wooden cover in order to keep it.

Good old eBay !!
There's loads to pick from, it comes off a roll like pond liner...just buy as much as you need.
From memory, The pre-tailoring measurement was 1m x 1.2m, that's the size I bought, so almost no waste.
Don't know how to do it on my tablet, but will be on my laptop Friday, I'll send you a link

I've actually decided to go with a trailer and no roof rack. far more capacity for the cost, less fuel as i'd need a trailer for everything anyway 'cos a roof rack wouldn't carry enough, and I can sell the trailer here in crete if i need to whereas a roofrack would be Jimny specific.
