     Have any listers purchased new tonneaus from MOSS or TRF recently? How was 
the fit and quality?
     TIA,

     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
