How many people use the boot?

As Barry did, my cover goes on much easier when I "help" the top all the way down. I've stored my cover for long periods of time, exactly as the diagram on the back outlines, and I still have trouble. Once it is on on a sunny day, leave it on for a bit to help it "remember" that shape- that seems to help mine go on more easily.

I'm with ScottB on this one. Although difficult at first I now find it a simple and quick job to get the boot on or off by myself. I like the look of the car much better with the boot installed and it no doubt provides protection for the roof interior (it's amazing how much crap blows into a convertible) and hides those weird looking brush type thingies.

I use it any time that I'm going to keep the top down for more than an hour. For short trips or if rain is in the forecast I'll pass. It definitely gets easier to use with practice - although I still have problems with the snaps in a dark parking garage.

I find it absolutely amazing that any SERIOUS S2k owner (and isn't everbody on this board?) would not put the boot cover on, at least most of the time, since the car looks IMMENSELY better with it on. Not to mention the added benefit of keeping dirt and dust out of the top well.
As stated by many others, it's not difficult or time consuming when you get the hang of it, certainly no worse than my Miata.
Shame, shame on those that don't use it.
