I have an original tonneau (metal zipper) and it leaks in a medium or worse
rain. Water pools in the center and it has nowhere to go put through the
seams around the zipper and probably through the zipper itself. I've often
thought of building a little padded console to sit on the transmission
tunnel, just tall enough to keep the center of the tonneau bowed up, so that
the water runs off. Of course, in the meantime, I try to keep the car in
the garage on those rare rainy southern California days.
