Not sure which cover you mean. A pic would help.

This is the one I have, not recommended to leave it on, and you cannot close the hatch because of the way it fastens.

I have this one….like MikeZ51 says, can’t close the deck with this installed as it goes over the latch mechanism. Guess cutting a slit where the striker meets the mechanism could work but I only use it for car shows.

Not that I understand the product, but how do you get it to/from shows?

Cutting a slit would not work because the hatch actually goes inside of the trunk area, believe me, I've checked. But it's great for shows.

It rolls up and stores in it's own zippered case.

I have noticed at some of the larger shows they require the front and rear covers to be removed for judging. After the judges have looked at the car you can put them back on. If showing the car be sure and ask what it the policy on frunk and rear covers.
