I have to say, the 'new design' MMC rack is a piece of jewelry. The clamps are elegantly designed and machined.

Hi Rodger!
Is this the new design or is it a one off solution!

Does it hinge up or does it need to be removed to access the boot?

you have to remove it. Really quite simply. The is a pin (you can see it on the last picture immediately behind the roll bar) and a spring clip cotter key below. It then slides backwards to come out. So if you were using it for a long trip, the only stuff you would want in the boot is things you would access at the end of the day. Or you might stash your tools and spare parts in the boot.
I have noticed the pictures make it look like it conforms to the curvature of the body, but it is flat.

Thank you for your explanation!
Some positive changes to the old version but still far away from practicality.

well, yes, in that whenever I need in the boot, I have to take it off, but for a several day trip ample room to carry things. I also view it as a bit of security in that I do not worry about the boot flying open - LOL

no, it was installed at the factory and the dealer showed me how it comes off to access the boot. If you were to install the whole thing as an add on it would be really straight forward. there is a two piece part that bolt/clamps to the roll bar. If I were doing it, I would leave those semi loose to line up the parts that insert off the rack and then level both side to side and front to back, before tightening
