Its works a treat - as the test drive yesterday demonstrated. happy3

U just need a slight mod round the drive belt area and to allow
for suspension travel.

This will stop the seat belt issue - forces road debris/water etc downwards, not into the transmission area and stops debris being thrown up into the covered boot area. innocent

so bingo!An easy mod - which could be simply reversed to original if necessary. cheers




This is good. The problem with road mung and dirt has vexed me and this is a relatively easy fix. Between this and removing the seat back and tightening up the joins and using silicon here and there will greatly relieve the general muck. I have noticed that the dirt I receive from the road is negligible but the crap that comes through the cracks from the rear is the telling story. I can wipe it down every day but it comes back!

It does not encourage guests!

What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.
