    If you mean a bag inside the boot then the operation of the power roof does not affect it. The roof has its own separate compartment to hide in.

    From your icon you seem to be a biker. I did wonder if you were meaning some sort of bag mounted on top of the boot lid similar to a tank bag on a bike. If this is the case then the photo might help.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The cover is in its rearmost position as shown. Vertically from the rearmost lip of the cover to the top of the boot lid is 230mm. Horizontally from the same point to the rear of the boot lid (just before the lid folds downwards) is 220mm. There is some thickness to the cover which will reduce the vertical height.

    Hope this helps.

    Yeah Larry, that's the sort of thing I thought he meant. Never seen one before but it should work if it's not stuffed too full! I guess the clearance problems with the cover are why Mazda say no boot rack for the Coupe.

    I was sure that there was people with the boot bag on here... planning on camping in Europe early season next year and want to maximise haulage without the ability to drop the roof as (being a biker, well spotted!) it is down far more often than it is up, including light showers and winter....

    A couple of weeks ago whilst on the way up to the Lake District we passed a copper red NC with a large bath towel on the boot and on top of it was a sports bag lashed down with a couple of bungees!!Looked highly entertaining but probably much cheaper than an official boot bag!
