Tonneau cover or hood cover?

Need a little advise on my hood. It looks like a boy scouts tent sitting on my backseat!
I dont know if I should do away with the hood altogether & have a tonneau or find a cover that can control the unsightly tent what do you guys do to keep your car looking unflappy and still have room for the kids? By the way I dont mind driving in the rain if i have to.

Had a mess with my hood today managed to fold it onto the back of the car, looks much better so now I am after a hood cover any out there?

Hi, is your hood not attached to the frame? So when you fold it down it the fabric folds with the frame and does your frame have two positions one flat and the other pulled backwards onto the back of the car so kids can get in the back?

I unbuttoned the press studs & it folded back as it should. I think i need lessons on how my car works!
Tomorrows masterclass is the heater if I have one!

Heater ..hand warmers from Poundland more like it .I have a cover that goes neatly over the hood when in the closed position and use the stud fasteners to fix it looks great when on.Can't post pics on here but send detail and i will take photos
My hood is not the low bow style but does not look like a tent either up or down

Come on guys, you lot still driving round without heat. You need to get yourself a webasto airtop heater. It works via a feed from the petrol tank. Takes a good 5 mins to warm up properly but once it's going it's great.

Heater Control switch under-dash

I cant mount a heater there Ive just mounted an amp for my radio there. Kids said they wanted some tunes in the car. All my speeakers are hidden & the stereo is discreet under dash. Anyhow I think the heat of the amp in the back should keep the kids warm.
