Getting ever closer to SVA time. Probably been asked loads of time BUT my boot area (totally built to book with solid rear end) is totally open to the elements, ie; no cover. Is this OK for SVA?

Cover it up or everything inside it is checked for radius.

As Pete says - cover it up. It avoids any questions.

I made a 2-part cover out of MDF that bolted to a couple of steel tube bars hooked under the top rail of the boot space (had to be 2-part to fit around the roll bar supports).

It looked like it was meant to be permanent - nicely painted, etc - but it was replaced a couple of months later when I built a proper boot lid.
