Roof sqft?

Does anyone know the square footage of the R56 roof? I'm looking to get some 3M Vinyl to cover and protect the roof. I'd measure it myself but my boss has me duct taped to my chair and I'd like to place my order for it but I'm not sure how much I need to get to cover the entire roof.

Thanks!

I'm retired so all my boss tells me to do is carry out the garbage and mow the lawn. She allows me to measure my roof anytime I want. Mine is 46" across (from raingutter to raingutter). It's 68" long measured from the windshield molding to the opening for the hatch. All measurements include the curvature of the roof. Hope this helps.

Thanks a ton! You'd be surprised how difficult it is to find the actual measurements of a Mini Roof. Apparently installers have this as a closely guarded secret. I've tried every type of google search and no one has a straight answer posted.

Very much appreciate your help!
