I have an everflex hood on my car. 9 stud not easy up.
If I have the hood fitted instead of the tonneau cover I leave it partly fitted at the rear. Basically the rear studs are fitted. I then fold it in using the rear clear screens as a guide leaving the rear side flaps part out. These are then fitted back. It creates a rear shelf cover type effect with the clear screen area uppermost. I lightly push the middle down a bit to allow rear mirror vision. If it rains heavily enough it is easy to pull the hood forward and fit the front studs, almost like an easy up hood. Another option, if our dog is on board on the rear shelf, is to fold the sides in as well and push it down while the rear studs are still fitted.
I used to have photos but will have to dig them out.
