My Touring has the roll-up cargo cover WITHOUT the netted blind. Of course, the plastic mounting tabs have broken off, so I'd like to replace it with a new one WITH the net.

What I'm wondering about is all the mounting hardware and brackets. Can I use the existing mounting brackets and hardware, or does all of that need to be replaced as well? (It's hard to tell from the parts diagram). Also, are the end caps a separate item? Again, the diagram is hard to decipher.

Finally, is the netted version as convenient to remove as the non-netted version? Thanks!

You use the same mountings as the one you have. You will need brackets up on the roofling to hold the net in place. These only cost a couple of quid each at the dealer ... you'll need the screws too.

As to the convenience to remove ... I thought it was a b*tch to fit in the first place ... I don't have the knack yet.
