Roof Panels - Boot Storage Options?
Discussion
I know we all drive around with the roof off/top down, but where and how do you store your two roof panels?
Originally they came with storage bags and you could put them in the boot, I want to put mine in the boot but do not want to damage them, so what top tips do people have please?
I thought I read somewhere IKEA sold something suitable??
Thanks,
Andrew.

Hand made to order Sir, Black vinyl with your choice of logo colour.
Say the word and I'll set the wheels in motion, £48 pair but I was originally mis-quoted on the postage, £2.85 doesn't unfortunately cover it will have to be £5 unless we can meet up somewhere? Chatsworth 2nd October
Great, can I order a pair then please, happy with the £5 P&P too, if you can send me payment details etc.Say the word and I'll set the wheels in motion, £48 pair but I was originally mis-quoted on the postage, £2.85 doesn't unfortunately cover it will have to be £5 unless we can meet up somewhere?

As for logo colour? was Silver available? or Dark Green maybe.
Thanks,
Andrew.

There is another way!!!
(Still worth having the bags though)
Quite a few of us have now changed the boot arrangements to provide for the roof panels to be stored from inside the car. The biggest advantage is that it allows much easier use of the boot space for packing luggage. Especially if you are travelling 2 up getting luggage and panels in the boot, especially if it rains, is a right pain.
PH S owner Alan461 came up with a brilliant plan (it has become known as Alans Roof Stowage Enclosure...ARSE!) which has been developed in various ways by owners.
Several of the cars on the last Eurotour had this mod and swear by it. It has certainly been an enormous step forward for my partner and I, we were really struggling with the old arrangements but it has made an amazing difference to ease of use of the car since. One of the very best mods I have made.
This is one of the threads concerned, http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=3&a...
I must download photographs of the slight development I made, and note down the necessary dimensions.
Thanks for that, although not so keen on hacking my S apart, might be the bit that's holding it all together (Still worth having the bags though)

You would think some room could be found under the bonnet.
I must say the MG I just sold had a clever roof design.......it just all folded back as one, and took up less room than what remains on my S
