How do you store these in the car when the top is up? Right now they are sliding around in the trunk.

Personally, I leave them in the garage. But the zippered-bag should have velcro that sticks (somewhat) to the carpet in the trunk. You still have that bag?

I bought the car used, I guess the bag is making someone a great gym bag. Any Idea where I could get another?

You can buy another bag from your GM parts counter at the dealership. Be prepared...they're spendy!

I got lucky and bought a second boot and bag off of eBay for $100.

Dealer is asking $282 for the bag. The garage is starting to sound like a good place for them.

Sorry to hear your bag wasn't included w/ you car.

I can't believe someone would buy a sweet ride like a convert Z28/SS (a Brickyard car no less) then lose ANY part of it for the next owner.

Most of the time my cover is in the bag in the garage. On the occasions that I decide to take it with me, I store it on the shelf in the trunk where the top would go when in the down position. The velco strips on the bag secure it nicely to the carpeting. Perfect fit too!

I know, I know... Ya'll are thinking "That's a no-no, storing stuff on the roof shelf", but hey, if ya remember to take it out before lowering the roof, there's no problem .

Can't imagine why anyone would want to use the boot bag for anything other than its original intent. Its design does not lend itself to carrying much other than the three boot pieces.

I'd go down to the dealership and invest in a new bag.

I store my boot and cover in the garage. It takes up alot of space when I put the boot in the trunk.
