A little tonneau would be nice. It would also help keep all the leaves
and junk from plugging up the drain holes.

When we first got our Westy, it made a funny "rumble, rumble, clunk"
noise when going around corners. Couldn't tell where the noise was
coming from...  I looked in all the cupboards and couldn't find anything.
Then one day I was at Mom's house and happened to look down at the
Westy from the upstairs window.  AHA!
After I removed the fully dehydrated, mummified apple from the luggage
rack the noise was gone...  (-:
