I had the boot on my car one (1) time last summer. Looks elegant but that's about it. A bear to put on and not much easier to take off. I park the car with the roof up other than in my garage so the cover is very inconvenient and remains in my garage.

The old, folding fabric covers I has with my Brit sports cars (eons ago) were much easier. Then there were the complete tonneau covers for the cockpit which were zippered so just the drivers side could be opened -- but these old cars didn't have power tops and some had to be assembled and covered.

The Triumphs MG's and Austin Healy's were great fun but the S is too and much better electricals. You might get a upholstery snap remover and try that on the boot it turns a 10 min struggle into a 2 min effort.

Thanks for the tip...tried it yesterday and it worked like a charm. Makes the boot removal much, much easier!

Seems like all that top up and down would wear holes in the top, although some say the honda holes are caused when the top is down? Dunno
