Default hood in hatch?

i head you can fit a hood in the hatch...is that true? if so how? i need to pick up a hood about three hours away and dont have another vehicle to put it in so can you actually fit a hood in the back?...if not would it be bad to drive there with no hood on at all and just put that hood on for the way home?

Honestly I dont think it can be done... I havent tried it but I Just got my hood in and I dont think its possible to put it in the back... A short drive with no hood is ok but a long one I am not sure about... Make sure you have nice weather that day if you are gonna do it, just be ready to clean out the bugs afterwords.
