It's not a problem if you fold the tonneau in on itself rather than stuffing it behind the seat

Having a three-zip tonneau on Tink, I fold it across, to the centre, away from the belt. The narrow left hand bit then fits the other side of the belt, tucked back the way Ken has above. have to be careful with kit being carried behind the seats though, otherwise the hood makes belt retraction 'stiff'.

Doesn't matter on RTA - fixed belts smile

Cheers,

Brian, my hood is the quick fit one and putting it up is no problem, it's just the putting it down and folding up neatly that I found a pain but like I said, I'll probably get into a routine.

Re the power, glad you've said the same, I thought is was me. Will investigate the chip mod.

Thanks

Steve

Dave,
I think he's lost it. Perhaps a quick trip to bucks to give some moral support is called for rofl
