Default (Another) Tonneau cover installed..........

I picked this up brand new from local dealer for $560 (not bad considering they list for like $700) and installed it over the 4th of July. Like Mike, I too dropped the speed nut down the dash vent. About 30 seconds with a magnet is all it took to fish it out.

So far I've had it out at speeds up to 80 and it is rock solid!

Mike did his usual thorough and excellent writeup so I'll just post the one pic (more in my Fotki).

Default That looks great, but it would look even better in blue to match.

I bet you could go to an industrial seemstress and have it made off of that original for like $125 and then sell the black one for close to or more then what you payed for it...just a thought... : )

Good point. I've thought it would be so much better if it matched my blue top.

Default Deja Vu.....

Had one of those on my very first car when I was a kid (MGA). Managed to set a personal record of 9 months without ever putting the top up (this on a daily driver in the Philadelphia areas). Tonneaus are cool!
