Your rain jacket tail should extend far enough to cover for rainfall, a saddle cover for when you get off your bike.
Some of the comments about adding slots in the covers to permanently mount them may seem ridiculous until you imagine the cover rolled up, captive atop your bag lid until you need it and unfurl it and hook it under the nose. If it rains where you ride, you adapt to it.
