judas Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Just got a tonneau cover off eBay but theres no fitting instructions with it - just four metal brackets, two with screws and rubber grommet thingies and a couple of allen key bolts. The tonneau cover itself has four knob-headed ( ) things that presumably attach to the brackets. Does anyone have any fitting instructions or is it really obvious once you get in in place? Thanks!

M13KYF Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 underneath the rear antiroll bar you will find two plastic hooks. Remove those. Two of the brackets attach there. The other two you need to remove the mat. Attach the brackets to the holes which run along the width of the boot. You then need to cut two small slits in the boot mat for the brackets to poke through. Think the smaller brackets go on the bottom and the long ones on top. Sorry can't be much more help. If you are still struggling I'll take some piccies of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluffy Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I have some fitting instructions for the tonneau cover. PM me your address and I will send you a copy 1st class tomorrow.. you should get them Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judas Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Michael - I've PM'ed you I've come to the conclusion that the tonneau cover was very much a last minute afterthought - what a riduculous design! I've fitted it - whether it stays there is another matter... Still, it has noticably reduced road noise from the rear and made the drive a bit more civilised - until you boot it of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennyc Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 What's the verdict on these? Are they worth the money, do they look shite once fitted? The wife left me with a few bob last month and was thinking of getting one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 personally I like mine. £75 from holldcroft, don't think you could find much cheaper unless you make your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
