Figured out the black parts (not shown) are for hiding the hard top connection points

Quite rare Stu, I've not seen them in beige before. Do you have a beige roof? People pay silly money for these! If you use them then don't forget to remove them before closing the roof else they'll go flying :D .

So- let me get this right

When the roof is down, it covers the gubbins either side…

Wow

Over engineering at its finest

@dave no black roof but beige inside
