Those of us with early cars know the joy of the plastic rear window scuffing up. The amazing BMW plastic window
cleaner is great for polishing out the scratches but I thought it was about time to give the old girl's roof a more comfy
place to sleep when down.

Rather than cutting down a bath mat or similar I found a huge gaming mouse mat on amazon for under 11 quid
that fits the bill nicely.




Combine this with a couple of metres of black felt, also from amazon for less than 4 quid:


and a bit of double sided carpet tape...







and robert's your mother's brother, ready to go on the rear shelf!



I used the rest of the felt to wrap around a section of pipe insulation to make a roller to sit inside the fold when down for protracted periods.

Then time to get out the BMW polish and take out the scratches...

Why didn't I do this years ago?!
