It doesn't fit dammit.... The whole reason why I got it was cause I was hoping to store it in the boot in times I didn't need it.

Paid $250, brand spanking new, but it doesn't fit in the boot!

So what, you put it on in perfect sunny weather, it turns to shit and starts to piss down 30 minutes later, and when it begins to piss down, you put the roof up, but where does the tonneau cover then go?

Is it wise to "fold" it?

The corners luck underneath and it fits nicely.... in my locker in my garage. And it's been there pretty much for the last 6 years.

Ok, well I'm obviously a douche bag for trying to stick it in whole.

Cheers guys.

hahaha.

I got it for the thought of having it look better than hte ugly roof bars poking up, using it on day cruises with mates to the city yada yada yada. Then when not in use, it stays in the boot the other 95% of the year.

That was the general idea anyway.....

it actually has a diagram on it that shows you how to fold it into that square bit in the boot does it not? lol $250...why? ahha Althought I'm looking for one but I wouldn't pay that much for it. IT does look nicer with it on & roof down though

I was under the understanding that they go for about $75.
