I've taken my boot cover out a number of times to fit bikes and kids stuff into the boot area... easy to use and lightweight, detaches via two strings and pop out catches... you also have two hooks in the boot area for hanging bags on (useful for shopping bags to save them rolling about an empty boot) plus there's two catch units (on either side of the boot) that allow you to lift up the boot floor to access the underfloor storage, the catches hold the floor open at an angle of 45°... easy to use without having to remove...
