Raincover (again)

[walsingham]

right,. the ruddy thing is making a right mess of my boot. It is scuffing the paintwork every time I push that flappy bit down through the gap into the boot cavity. Either I'm dong it wrong, my boot lid is badly aligned and the space is oo tight, or everyone's boot lid is scuffed to hell.

Left out in rain last night. No sign of leaking at all. Going to check the bulkhead for leaks and then forget it unless anyone has any better ideas.

i never try to put mine in the boot.

Ok if its not likely to get nicked or very windy

[walsingham]

tried that and the wind whipped it over the car scratching the bonnet. grrrr.

Any other ideas?

One corner in then the rest should follow, when i did try on mine i found it easier if the boot wasn't fully open, this actually gave me a larger gap.


It is clean,the cover that is

hmm. The gap seems well small in the middle, even lowering the boot a bit. Pain in the harris, frankly. I might try cleaning it, incase there is some grit on it or something... Cheers though.

Talking about boot lid alignment, I noticed that my boot lid has started to rub the body half way along the hinge side. Looking at the hinges, there appears to be no adjustment possible.
Any ideas of how to move the lid slightly towards the rear of the car, so it doesn't scuff throught the paint ?
(sorry for diverting from the topic of this thread)

On the cover fornt, don't seem to have any problems with scuffing or such like that I have noticed, will check in detail later on today and post. But I know, it's no help but I've got it down to a 2 minuite art now, even in the rain!
