Speedtrip Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I've recently acquired a half hood for my car. As you'd expect it's so much easier to fit but how do you carry in/on the car when not in use? Just stuff it in the the boot or use a bespoke carrier?Thoughts/experience and any photos would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted June 29, 2018 Member Share Posted June 29, 2018 In the dedicated SFBS fabric roll that clips to the rollover bar.Or did until it disappeared. Anyone got one that they don't need?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ. Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I have a softbits halfhood with the cover Jonathan mentioned. If the boot is full and/or the forecast is poor, I have the hood rolled up on top of the boot cover.With a good forecast and empty boot, I tuck the hood inside the boot, but keep the straps attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 As per DJ. Always keep rear straps attached but slackened enough so you can attach the HH to the screen in seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedtrip Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Thanks guys. I'm thinking a full hood bag might easier..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Half hood is tiny compared to a full hood - just shove it in the boot!Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manstein Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Normally shoved in the passenger foot well with the gin but in the boot with the straps attached makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benton Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Kept in a yoga mat bag .... boot, passenger well, behind passenger seat as appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stridey Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Generally rolled in its sheath, with golf umbrella tucked into loops. On tour I might use full hood bag, with lightweight tonneau rolled in as well.If showery on trip, rolled into boot, straps ready fixed for quick deploy.Never used full hood.

Colin Cooper Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Just chucked in the boot, in its 'bag', and in a plastic bin liner. Only used in extreme conditions.The 'rotor' effect drenching the inner screen generally signals its use.Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedtrip Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Thanks all.I think I'll probably go with a full size hood holder. It has to be easier to store/remove the half hood and is much more versatile, if a little big.Cheers,Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john aston Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 It'd be like keeping a pair of socks in its own wardrobe . The half hood , folded , is not much more than A4 size and thus will fit just about anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
