HI, I am sorry but have no idea about what this is. What is a flipup and which rear cover (hatch, spare area, spat maybe)

Default What to flip up

Sorry. I was referring to the rear wheel covers for cleaning of the rims without actually taking them all the way off every time.

No; I would estimate that the time involved in developing your idea would make it impractical. Instead, I recommend practicing a dozen times over, removing and installing the covers (they are called spats in the parts list) I have become pretty good at it, and it does not take long at all!
