Convertible boot
I have't used it at all. Most members don't seem to and it doesn't cause any damage. Takes to much trunk space also and I belive its probably a few pounds. My top stays pretty clean with 303!!

I use mine all the time - it holds spare tools and towels with the inside facing up - and keeps them from rolling off the shelf that it sits on.
I had used it a few times when i first got my S - I'd like to use it more but if you're going to be going top up & several times while running to the gym and about town that thing becomes all the more impractical. I consider it (the convertible boot ) a very bad design element of the S.

i've used it once - just to see how it goes on. that boot sits with the boot from the miata on top of a storage cabinet in the garage. we never park the cars with the top down, even for a 10 minute Target in-and-out. we might use it if we ever do some sort of drive from SF to LA or something.
Seldom use it here either, I hate leaving the top down when going shopping, and if I put the cover in the trunk it takes up too much room. Only use it when going visiting friends or when top will stay down for a long time.
Never use it. The boot remains on a dingy shelf in the garage. Of course, having a garage is a big help. South Carolina is very prone to thundershowers, even on apparently sunny days, so the top must be put up any time the car is left out of doors for more than a few minutes. It would be altogether too much work to fiddle with the boot. On several occasions already, sudden showers while driving top down have necessitated a quick maneuver off the road, followed by emergency top raising.

I use mine all the time...why?...use the boot and drive around for a day or two. Then,take a damp towel and wipe down the boot...you want all that dirt sticking to the inside of the top?
We'll die off from lung cancer but out ragtops'll be clean!!
