Benefit Of Tonneau Cover
went for a run last night having washed the car with the tonneau on. I had forgotten what a difference it makes
Looks wise, much much better
Noise wise, a lot less wind noise so you can hear the exhaust note so so much better

And I just happen to have one for sale 
Never bothered with mine TBO, stops dust and dirt getting into the hood mechanism, improves the looks, less wind noise and probably slightly better drag figures, performance and economy (maybe stretching it a bit too far lol). Stops you flicking it back up at the lights if there is a quick shower of rain though and takes a minute or two to fit.

I got out hte habit of using mine, mainly cause I can't garuntee that it is not going to rain, so much for July. I paid the price the other day in Brighton when a seagull sprayed his crap all over the inside of the roof. Must use it more!!

You wash the car with the tonneau on ? 
In the Summer, it's only light dust that needs swilling off the paint.
(Apart from the front wheels, of course!)

my tonneau is permanently on with a dust cover thrown over the car while it's not in use (which is most of the time 
)
I wonder what the record is for the least number of miles between servicing?
