welcome to Florida!
Be sure to visit the local club (see sig).

As for suggestions, painters tape should work.
Maybe you can saranwrap the whole front end, kinda like a cheapman's clear bra, lol. (j/k, don't know if this will work)

I'd get like 5 to be safe. They're like 89 cents a roll. LOL
Get A BUNCH in case you hit torrential downpours. It's known to rain a lot in Florida, especially in summer afternoons. I light rain won't bother it but the kind of rain we get here sometimes would take it right off.
