Following on this thread, two more questions:
1. Is a boot or tonneau necessary to keep the folded soft top from being
"plucked" by the wind since it doesn't really sit "inside" like on a Miata
or other modern convertibles.
2. Are either the boot or tonneau available from our Wonderful Roadster
Vendors, or do I need to go to an auto upholstery shop? Costs?
Thanks.

Subject: Ques. on Tonneau Cover/Soft Top Boot
Hello Roadster Owners,
I'm debating whether to pick up a full tonneau cover or a soft top boot.
While I prefer the "half-covered" look of the soft top boot, I wouldn't mind
the slight added security of completely covering up the cockpit when my
Roadster is parked.
Can a full tonneau cover be "tucked" in the rear deck area so it looks/acts
like a softtop boot?
Is anyone currently doing this? I recall that Barrie Strachan may have done
this in the past??
I'll be shopping for a german canvas cloth full tonneau top (w/o headrests)
if this works ok.
