Default Back seat removed : Boot?

Has anyone come up with anything creative to fill the void left under the boot with the back seat removed? Im sure the boot wouldn't stay on at anything over 30mph with that gap there catching wind.

Or does everyone just scrap the boot with the back seat?

Also, is the boot unusable with a roll bar? If so, forget the first question, I'll just get rid of the boot now.

I've seen a roadster, tonneau cover style that goes basically from the headrests to the back. Don't know who makes it though.

I can't use something like that, 'cause I need the extra space to lean the seat back... I'm 6-6.

the boot is unusable once you get a rollbar, unless you dremel the boot.

The toneau cover will stay on too. And you can lean WAY back with it on too. There is someone on this board who makes compartments for the back that fit where the rear seats were. I don't remember who it is though but if you search for it I am sure it won't take much to find.
