tuscan roof storage...

[abz]

could someone tell me where the roof goes for the tuscan once you've taken it off- does it just go in the boot?? and if so, does it leave much room for much else?? ta

Right - really need pictures, but here goes.


Offer up the trailing edge of the roof to the boot. (You have opened the boot, haven't you! ) Topside up still.

Slide into the two obvious grooves at the top of the fuel tank, i.e. the top left and right corners as you look at the boot.

Gently ease the front edges of the roof (which should now be nearest to you) in each side and you will find that the little cut out in the middle just fits around a post behind the boot catch mechanism.

Voila! Bob's your..... well he's another Tuscan owner but you know what I mean....

yep - loads of room for other stuff underneath in fact it dosent reduce luggage space that much at all - its one of the best bits of the Tuscan roof arrangement - you get 2 cars in one that you can go touring in

....Just be aware that stowing the window on top of the roof in the boot when both of them are dirty, means a very scratched roof panel, bear in mind those of you that are going to Le Mans this is where your car will get the dustiest, then you want to stow the roof & window in the boot & voila, you get a scatched roof panel.

With Tuscan purchase pending (so I obviously can't check), is it possible to stow the screen UNDERNEATH the roof?

Wot me ?

The amount of room you lose in the boot is about 10%. The window should be put in the bag and if the boot is full, place the window on top of the stuff in the boot directly under the roof. You can normally fit in everything needed for LeMans with the window and roof in the boot.

If slightly challenged for space you can always keep the roof on and remove the window (with the side windows open. This also keeps an air flow through the car for cooling but keeps you out of the sun (on VERY hot days only)
