Tonneau Cover

Re: Tonneau Cover

Hi there,

I was getting a little confused with all the talk on 'soft covers' and 'padded covers'. I was trying to decide which one I had that came with the car.

I think Dot's last post just answered that for me. I'm sure I have the 'softer padded cover' that came with our 03 bird. I think this looks pretty good when on and no problems with the sides or back flying out. It does roll up real nice and fits into that odd shape in the trunk leaving the rest free for chairs,suitcase,guitar, whatever.

Gordon.

To stop the sides from coming loose you might try to use short strips of velcro with adhisive both on the under side of the body panel and the side edges of the cover.

Thanks Jim, that sounds like a good idea. Will look at it this weekend.

If you are going to do that, you better look for some of that "velcro"' that is much stronger than the normal stuff. They sell it at Home Depot and other similar places. They have different strengths of what they aren't allowed to always call velcro and they call it "lock and loop" or something like that. Some of it is incredibly strong and would work there, but the normal velcro would probably not hold there.

Correct Joe: It's a yellow box marked VELCRO Lock and Loop at Home Depot
