Grandmaster Flatcap Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I've seen comments on old threads about the boot cover not fitting well with an FIA roll bar. Can I ask if this means it just doesn't fit/fasten at all, or if leaks a bit more than usual / looks a bit wonky but is still servicable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonheli Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hi NigelI had an FIA Rollbar fitted last year to my S3. All I have noticed with the boot cover is that you have to be a bit more forceful when pulling the edges to secure the poppers, but other than that, no real difference.Afraid I don't know about leaks as 'Cruella' is lucky enough to live in her own garage, and her owner is too much of a coward to go out in wet weather.... maybe one day I'll give it a go!!

Area Representative Paul Richards Posted May 10, 2016 Area Representative Share Posted May 10, 2016 NigelGenerally speaking the rear diagonals on an FIA bar lean further forward (towards the front of the car) than with a standard bar. Therefore the diagonals foul the holes in the boot cover towards the front of the car. Hope you can understand. May still fit and will certainly fit with a little nick in the cover. It does mean that there will be a larger gap between diagonal and boot cover towards the rear of the car. Hope this makes sense. I think you may be able to get your existing cover modified by soft bits. They move the hole and sew on a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
