Default Tonneau Cover?

If you have a tonneau cover with your car can you tell me where it goes if your out and about and want to put the hood up???

I am thinking ahead as next year me and the missus are going on a driving holiday to the South of France with several friends in roadster type cars. All being well we shall be driving the S2K down and i would to purchase a tonneau cover for it as i think it finishes the car off when the roof is down.

My question is - with a boot full of luggage and the need to put the hood up on occasions where else (if anywhere can it be stored when not in use??? It gives the appearance in photos of being quite rigid and solid so guessing it can't be folded and stored elsewhere????

Anyone encountered the same orcan advise.

Cheers

Si

Mine lives in the boot when not in use, and there isn't a great deal of room for much else. The best thing to do is leave it at home when you go on holiday

Mine is in the garage. Takes up too much real estate in the boot. Looks lovely on and really tidys the back up when fitted.

Wish they had made a soft material one which you could fold up, like the one I had for my old MGB Roadster.

I've found it fits in the parcel shelf left when the roof is up - only available with roof up but obviously that's not an issue. I fashioned a strap to keep it flat and stop it from getting in the way of the rear windscreen.
