tanneau covers for 2014 SL?
Does anyone know if someone makes/sells something like this that will protect your cars interior while parked and the roof is down? I'm not thinking so much for all weather but more for in the garage, or for short periods outside.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Why would anyone? IMHO there's no market for it - it takes much less time to open/close the roof than to put on/remove any kind of tonneau cover.

I had tonneau covers on both a ‘65 XKE and a ‘66 Corvette, that I owned several decades ago. I absolutely LOVED them, especially when keeping the passenger side in place while driving. It was so “sports car sophisticated” back then. Both cars were bought used, with the tonneau covers already installed. The huge problem with them, is the fact that to do them right, male “snaps” need to be mounted on the car, which is the reason I have never had a tonneau since. The idea of drilling into something like an SL—or any fine car for that matter—is horrifying to me. With the current type of roof, I just put the top up when I park the car, if I am going to be away from it for more than a few minutes.
