Rightyho - seems like weight of opinion is 'for' - so I reckon once the weather gets better it'll be going on most of the time.

Silly question, but you say it reduces noise, are you talking about the rattling noise made by the roof when it's folded down? If it does I'm getting one. I'm fed up of it rattling away behind my ear all the time.

I'll use mine whenever the roof's going to be down for an extended period. Looks nicer and keeps dirt out of the roof.
TBH, I don't know what all the fuss is about the supposed hassle involved in taking it on and off. It's always seemed pretty quick and straightforward to me. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong

Wind noise, not really apparent unless you are doing over 40. The rattling might be if you havent clipped the locks back into the lock position.

That is now impossible, since the weather is so bloody changeable.
I got caught out by a sudden cloudburst of biblical proportions.
That's when I ditched the tonneau & had the snip.

It'll be going on when/if the weather remains hot for a whole day without raining
