Jim,
I hadn't seen an accurate copy of the tonneau. there were several versions
done, the originals in the "USA" didn't have a full "pocket" for the wheel
like the UK ones. The originals had the damn along the front as mentioned
and also had the large silver metal zippers (the name escapes me for now )
not black plastic. they also had a grey inside finish (per the original
soft tops) and they had a strap to secure the tonneau to the centre console
while driving.
Re: soft top... do you want a factory correct top? I believe the correct
everflex style ones are being made in the Uk with the correct grey internal
finish. Not sure if they only do the tension rod style or the later velcro
or both.
