whats the difference?

Evening all, can someone tell me is a tonneau cover & a hood bag the
same thing?Thanks

I guess it must be, can't see what other bag you'd need for your hood?

i think hood bag is the term for the thing you put over the roof when its down although most people call this a tonneau cover which is infact a cover you put over the seats when roof is down? i think…..

…or maybe i just dreamt that…..

I think your find it's the same but just different terminology!  

Thanks all,I'd heard of a tonneau cover & was lineing up to get one,
& recently have heard the term "hood bag",just didnt want to buy the wrong
piece, if the other would do the job.

This is right.. My Dad's a trimmer, and i've spent many years earwigging conversations in his shop

Hood bag, covers the folded down hood.

Tonneau cover, mainly used on older sports cars, lets you drive with the rest of the interior covered if you want the roof down / dont have a roof!
You can also zip them up to cover the drivers side when parked if you prefer. Like this..

tonneau  does go over the seats although some people do call the hood cover a tonneau, if your, or they are unsure just get a picture so you know what your getting.
if it is a tonneau they are "rare" (sorry i know how we all hate that word)

Did someone say "Rare"...........

Hi all, quick update, with my new found
knowledge(given by you kind people)
I've got myself a hood bag, in the 10years
I've had my cabby I've always had the 
roof down with no cover, when I seen 
pics if cars with the hood covered I thought it was just an extra/styling mod.
Now my roof will be covered all times
it's down,going to keep cover in boot,thanks again  

FYI
Some countries Germany for one, if you drive with the roof down you have to have it covered!  

Not Austria though but of course now I've said that…..
