A while back, one of the members was having a clean out sale on Merlot accessories. One of the items was this one piece tonneau. I wasn't too keen on it, but my SO pointed out that it was an excellent deal and probably would not happen again. So, I'm finally posting a pic and giving my thoughts.
1. No way around it, it's a PIA. One more thing to store when not using, to clean when your are using, and to install and uninstall (however easy).
2. Fit is good - but it still looks like an add-on. A good add on, but an an add-on, none the less. Looks like it sits on the car, instead of part of the car.
3. It rattles - had to add rubber feet to keep it off the body.
4. Got to plan ahead (something I'm not good at) and check weather. If you are out and about, there is no access to the top.
5. No access to the shelf, either, while sitting. Never realized how many times I jump in the car and stuff things back there.
If you are thinking about one of these, think long and hard. I'm going to keep it a while and see how it plays out.
