Default Classic Wagon - Rear Strut Brace Vs Load Cover

Hi

I'm thinking of getting a rear strut brace for my classic wagon to stiffen up the rear end, but I am worried that the load cover "roller blind" will not fit afterwards.

I park my car on a busy road and I don't want a shiny strut braces atttracting the wrong sort of attention...

Can anyone confirm that the load cover WILL fit over the brace?

Thanks in advance

Some braces will allow the cover to fit, some won't, IIRC the whiteline rear brace does and is now available with quick release fittings between the bar and the plates which bolt to the strut towers.

You can move the cover by extending the retaining sockets upwards.......
