Tonneau Cover. How do you put them on?

[BuxtonZ3Guy]

Hello chaps,

I get I'm probably being a bit thick here. Can someone explain how to put one of these covers on? Is there a 'how to' video or a written explanation anywhere on the site?

I've had a good look at the tonneau and my car this afternoon and I can't make the cover fit. I'm beginning to think its the wrong cover for my car.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My car is 3.0 from 2001.

Cheers.

Andy.

Perhaps you could suggest a link, rather than go and look somewhere else.

This may help ( you may half to ignore the accompanying soundtrack )

Edit.
in your picture certainly looks like you have the correct one for your zed

Doesn't look like a Z3 tonneau cover to me, the illustration with the fitting instructions is different.

Now you have said this on closer look at the fitting instruction picture you could be right now I'm going to have to go get my zed keys and look in the boot at mine

No need for that Steve, found out that this tonneau cover belongs to a Honda S2000. Looks similar to our tonneau covers though:

Hello chaps,

Well the cover I bought is heading back to the person I bought it from!

I managed to find a proper one using the pictures that were posted on this thread. Thanks for that. I collected it from Sheffield earlier today. All sorted now.

Thanks for the feedback on this thread. I really appreciate it.

Cheers.

Andy.

Good news Andy glad you got it sorted.

Tonneau takes a a minute or so to get on and off but on a guaranteed nice day well worth fitting as zed folded roof section looks more finished with the Tonneau fitted.

Very true Steve, but a pain on a wet day. Had two and sold them both.

Still keep mine I use it between the 2 zeds if weather decent or at a show.
Had it on the Dakar at Zedfest.

Use my tonneau a lot during summer, simple to put on and off. I got caught in a shower and wasnt an issue removing quickly.
