The boots dress up the car in a big way. However, they really are a pain in the butt to install and remove. You need to be REALLY careful. The clips do not harm the chrome, but they do have sharp edges that can scratch the paint and slice up your hands / fingers from time to time. (ask me how I know)

The trick to install I use is to fold the boot in half, back on itself and snap the clips one at a time from the middle of the car towards the outside. Note that the correct way to install the clips is hook the short (hooked) side over the rear of the chrome, then snap down the longer lipped end of each clip (the side towards the inside of the car). When removing, do the opposite. Lift the long end up.

To do all of this well, I reach my hand -arm under the boot and grab each clip from the underside. (thus the hand / arm cuts) be careful!.

Lastly, pull the boot snug from each end, snap the snaps to the interior, and push the leading edge down under the front of the top between the folded top and the back of the back seat. Note that there is nothing to hold or snap that leading edge to other than tucking it between the top and the seat.

These tops do not stay tucked during a strong cross wind. I have had the unfortunate 'parachute' event more than a few times when hit by a burst of strong cross wind.

In general, it is not good to leave the top down for more than a couple of days. Putting it up and locking it in place keeps it well stretched. That is the dilemma between boot install and keeping the top stretched. By the time I get the boot on and looking good, I hate to remove it each time to put the top back up. For my daily driver, I rarely put the boot on. For my cars in shows, I always put the boot on.
