Laurence, in my experience the new material can slightly shrink after a few months due to general weather conditions, washing/drying out etc etc so I would maybe allow for that when it’s been made. My tonneau cover is quite tight and aligning the poppers can be a tricky affair, then again my cover has seen decades of use

Not looking good Gerben, there must be a supplier somewhere though

I’d be up for either location Laurence:-)

Stink of petrol in the cabin on my Cabby too. Look forward to the Article ?

Much faster and easier if someone else does the work for you John 🙂

Great news John, buy them all and I’m sure plenty on here, including myself would be willing to purchase a spare or two at a price more favourable than those over the Pond

I’m not familiar enough to say for certain but my own suspicion is that this particular cover may have been an aftermarket item and not genuine factory. My reason for thinking this is that there were no press stud fasteners or similar on it, just a sewn in Velcro strip. My own cover does have press studs and I assume is factory original. The parts book also shows press studs were fitted.
What are your covers like? With fasteners? Or just a Velcro strip? Maybe both types were supplied………?
