Some roadster tops must be covered with a protective cap when open in accordance with StVZO. This is often somewhat bulky because it is made of hard plastic and therefore takes up a lot of space in the trunk, which is not too big anyway.
If you then want to open the roof in nice weather, the hood protector is usually at the bottom !
So what to do ?
Drive without it ?
This is also bad, because then dust and dirt settles on the inside of the hood and "grinds" on the fabric. This can be expensive.
So better always cover the open top somehow, for example, with a tarpaulin that can be folded and takes up little space in a bag, for example, behind a seat.
