After putting the cover on once or twice, it gets much easier very quickly. And I do like the look when its on - I think it helps wind buffeting in the cabin slightly too. Would love to know how to fit it behind the headrests......how about a YouTube video someone?

Definate trick to it. You need to put the seats foward then hook it over the roll bars and ease it back keeping the long sides to the side of the roll bars. Should look something like this.




If you place some strapping over it - I use the sort you'd use for a roof rack you can make sure it stays out the way of the rear windscreen (not shown as i can't find it in the garage!)

Definately worth putting the cover on for long trips really reduces wind buffeting (IMO)

Just been out to have a go at putting the tonneau cover in the roof well and I simply can't get it to fit. I half closed/opened the roof and it still wouldn't go in. It looks too wide anyways.

I'd love to see a photo of this as well.

Sorry should have worked that one out

Was fiddly the first time I tried but once you get the hang of it it's dead easy. No need to have the roof in funny positions but helps to put seats forward.

when I go to S France I always pack the tonneau as the last thing in the boot, it squishes down nicely if you fold it "wings" under and make sure its between the boot hinges, and put soft items in the roof well, when its time to get the roof down I take out items from roof well and place in Boot space that was taken up by tonneau, takes a few packs to make sure the boot closes, makes hell of difference to the looks and dont have to worry about all that road c---p getting on inside of roof.

Solves the problem,also available in black:

Not as neat as the OE item, but far more practical. Its use would stop fading of the hood inside roof WHEN we get the sunshine thing again.

And no I can't get it in either - the back hood well.
