Hi, there's magnets stitched into the edges, behind the liner, so unlikely to scratch the car (my car was fine) there's also a security that gets shut behind the door gap so it can't be taken off without opening the doors, I copied this from the makers advert "soft top tailored half cover has been designed to fit easily using a concealed magnetic fixing system. Made from a PU coated woven polyester it is totally waterproof providing complete protection from the outside elements. The cover is secured to your vehicle and cannot be removed without unlocking the car"

I'ver got one of these and I didn't know anything about the "security that gets shut behind the door gap so it can't be taken off without opening the doors". How does that work then?

I’ve had one of these for while. It has a bead that is trapped in the forward edge of the boot and the front part is held under the wipers. This is all that is needed to hold it in place, but you can also make it captive under the corners of the bonnet and the leading and trailing edges of the doors, but it is nearly impossible to actually get it to be held by the doors, and frankly, that functionality is not required.

Been using one of these for two years..and still am. Feedback….mine is faded grey and getting a bit crispy/less flexible, it’s shrunk slightly so won’t go under the wipers, the magnets are no way strong enough, the Velcro straps that go round the wing mirrors are not strong enough in anything above a light breeze. ..I strap mine down at the front. Is it a fraction of the price of a new roof and would I get another ..yip!

As you have said, mine is held in tight by the boot lid, and similarly at the front by the bonnet. There's no way that the doors come into any of this however.

But I'm very happy with mine, and the velcro under the wing mirrors holds very tight!
