Thanks for the offer. You are second in line behind Z_wwrecker. (He asked first, he's local and I scooped these up before he had an opportunity to close the deal with the seller. I'm feeling a tiny bit of guilt about that.) I'm beginning to feel like the guy who is dating the most attractive young woman in high school. You are all watching and hoping we break up.

Here's the best arrangement:

1. Driver's side hump facing to the rear on the driver's side of the trunk.



2. Cover with half of the moving blanket.



3. Passenger side on top facing forward.



I placed the other half of the moving blanket on the top of the passenger side hump. After arranging them this way and checking for clearance, I summoned my courage and closed the trunk lid. There was no contact with the humps.

I have some additional observations from the video last night:

a. The OEM storage bags are more elegant than my $3.99 Harbor Freight moving blanket.
b. It appears that I can use the center wind deflector with the humps installed.
c. I need to keep some white cotton gloves in the car for use when I handle the humps.
d. I need to practice so that I can store the humps quickly in the event of a sudden storm.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

Eventually I will get around to confirming Bran’s information on storage. My car is kept in thengarage with the humps on. My humps are pretty much always on.

Thanks. I think I've found a workable solution, but having several options is even better.

I see you are from North Carolina, and I expect your weather is similar to what we experience in Central VA. There are many days that start with great top-down weather and end with a thunderstorm or high temperatures.

I'm planning to use the humps frequently, but I need to be sure I can react to weather changes. When I owned a Miata, I had a tonneau cover that I used fairly frequently when I parked at work. (It gave the car a 1960's British sports car ambience.) One day we had an unexpected thunderstorm and the tonneau proved to be less than 100% waterproof. It took a couple of days to totally dry out the interior.

Fortunately, the Miata didn't have an immobilizer or any other complex electronics under the seats. I'm certain I don't want a similar experience with the Boxster.
