Is that the “blanket” to cover the rear window when taking the roof down?Anyone have one of these gathering dust?
I need one to protect against the harmful sun-rays

Interesting.
I want one, too!

When I had my Z3 I just used a towel draped over the rear window, it just folds into the boot, does the job. ,
You cam also use a length of pipe insulation to help keep the towel in place when lowering the soft top and to help the window to fold properly.

Just put a strip of sticky back velcro (the hook side) along the pipe, it should stick quite well to the cover fabric without the other half of the velcro but if not just use the other half of the velcro stuck along the centre of the cover.
Arrived - Cheers.
Velcro does not stick to any of the 3 materials in the cover.
I'll look into a solution similar to the stretchy bands that hold the plastic hooks. I'm thinking about connecting to the bottom edge of the cover - under the assumption that the insulation pipe can also work when connected to the bottom (and not in the middle).

I thought the velcro would stick but as it doesn't you could use sticky back velcro and use both side to attach the pipe? Not sure if the pipe will work at the bottom as it needs to go in the fold in the middle of the window to stop the creasing.

I like how you've attached the pipe but I can't see how it does the job it is intended to do in that position - it is meant to go in the fold in the middle of the window so that the window has a nice round fold rather than a sharp crease.
