Pronounced Tun - Oh.
It may be a little more refined if you actually speak French.
You don't need the bar. I don't use it so I can put my seat all the way
back. If you can sew, than you could probably make your own tonneau cover.
You need snaps and a couple of those Tenax fasteners (well 6, really). You
can find them really cheap when there are vendors at shows and swap meets.
I got a top cover for something like $5 or $10. The guy had a full tonneau
cover for, say $20 or best offer. It wasn't new by any means, but a little
armor made my top cover pretty.
The top cover only covers the vinyl top, and not the car's cabin. I like it
better, because it doesn't obstruct my seatbelts, and I can hear my speakers
better.
