Default Boot/Trunk cover on coup, On or Off?

Curious if anyone takes the removable trunk cover off for added stow space, and then just use a dark towel to cover things up. My back window is also dark tinted..
Cheers

I think you answered your own question, the only reason to take it off is if/when you need some more stowage space. I also have tint on the side windows and hatch.
A few weeks ago I put the OEM rear wheel and tyre (295/30R20) in the hatch to get the wheel refurbed (some gutter rash), and although the cover still closed it got pushed up a bit, in hindsight it would have been better to remove the cover.

Yeah, it doesn't take much to lift it off the side hinges. I was just curious as to weather some people just leave it off...guess its a matter of personal taste

I think some have posted that the stereo sounds better with the cover off. I like the cleanliness of cover on. When my stereo gets fixed I may need to try for better sound though to see if it helps.
