This is the main reason why i fit the tonneau cover. Also it protects the soft top from discoloration on the exposed side caused by sun (this is for Greece though were we get many sunny days )

I've got two now, brand new unused, cause in Scotland you never know when the rain will appear and you need the hood up sharpish. They do make the car appear finished when fitted though.

My Tonneau cover was an absolute bug*er to try and fit (and get off) when I first got my car. But it had been stored folded up for months, and was clearly warped and would lift up away from the car slightly when fitted.

I stored the cover layed out flat and weighted down for a month so it could re-gain its shape and I fitted it to the car without trouble the other day, took less than 1 minute (much to my relief).

Roof down + Tonneau sure looks the part

Superglue, or just get a new one

I really like the way the car looks more refined with it on

I was sporting mine at Jap Fest ... only one there with it on. Does make a difference IMHO - easy to clean (damp cloth) and can use the area for balancing important things like drinks on with impunity

If anyone wants one PM Mr Lloyd (we have 3 and for 2 cars this is overkill)

Mine's still in the plastic bag it was supplied with the day I bought her.

Might make it an exercise this year to try and fit it!
