KarachiA custom top cover designed to protect the Toyota Corolla Cross (e.g. 2022-2025, 2024 etc.) from environmental damage. “Parachute” refers to the fabric — lightweight, flexible, waterproof or water-resistant material similar to that used in parachutes. The black color gives a sleek appearance and helps hide stains/dirt.
Sources show such covers often described as “premium waterproof parachute fabric” with features like scratch resistance, UV protection, dust and rain protection, custom SUV fit (Corolla Cross) with elastic hems and wind-straps for secure hold. Pakwheels+2Pakwheels+2
