Bill,
Funny you should write at this time, I was just getting ready to send a
picture to Jeff Zorn at LBCo with this same complaint, the steering wheel
boot seems to be made for a 15" and not the standard 17" TR3 wheel. Also,
the fit is horrible, I feel like I just flushed $400, $275 + $125
installation cost, down the hole.
I don't like to trash anyone in a public forum but if there are others with
problems with this tonneau I am sure Jeff would like to know.
Best regards,
Bill

Subject: [TR] TR3A Tonneaus
Years ago I bought a black tonneau from LBCarCo.com for my TR3A. It was
on sale at a good price. It has been on my shelf for several years. Anyway,
I opened it up to put on and am unhappy with the fit. The steering wheel
cover part of the tonneau doesn't slide all the way over the original wheel
and sticks up funny. The whole thing just doesn't look right to me, although
this may be because my old ratty tonneau has lasted for so long and I was so
used to it.
Anyone else have a similar problem with a LBC tonneau?
Any good deals on tonneaus out there? I went on line to buy another
tonneau, but the big 3 seem to want a lot for one.
I paid $35 for my last tonneau at a impromptu swap meet at a British
car show (Ventura show ISTR). It was essentially new with no snaps
installed. I am considering taking the top to my favorite interior shop and
just having them copy it and install reinforcements where the original tore.
TIA
