Either you are the lucky recipient of a shipping mistake (is it a whole
roll?) or else you've got the boot cover.
Is it just flat vinyl, or is there stitching or curves in it?
The boot cover (squab cover) covers up the hoodsticks (soft top frame)
when they are folded down. It stays on the car permanent-like. I'm
pretty sure it's held on by the lift-the-dot-studs-trim at the rear.
If you have a surrey top then maybe you can't use it.
Also, if you have a retrofit TR4A or TR6 top then you also can't use it.
If I remember correctly, I think there are 3 pieces to the boot cover; one
flat one for the middle, and two "triangular" ones for the sides.
If the piece o' vinyl is roughly the same width as the flat area in the
rear of the cockpit, then that's where it goes.
