I use my tonneau all the time. I prefer it to the hood...old type.
Hood gets used if it looks like heavy rain and I take the tonneau off and fold the hood over carefully to protect the "windows", forming a sort of half tonneau.
Mike, I like your version of split front/rear but would want that split to two pieces to allow passenger side to be covered when solo in the car. My present one allows this.
Maybe an idea if my present tonneau gives up.
