Tonneau Covers

[Jonnysnapzzz]

I would love a black tonneau cover for my silver Z3 but I'm struggling to find one at a reasonable price.
There are a few on eBay but I am wondering if anyone still makes these? Are there after market ones available anywhere? My googling came up with very little.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Jon

I have one that looks ok but has been laid flat for a number of years, I'm sure with some work it could be reshaped, I actually think if its put on a car it may well take its natural shape, Its at work and I'll take a look tomorrow, it won't be free but it will be a good price

 

[Jonnysnapzzz]

Thanks Sean, that would be great!

It has all its buttons but was left on a garage floor laid out so it has gone flat

I would imagine they are a set shape and likely to pull back into order without much trouble.
If you could see and let me know I would gladly take it off your hands.

I hope thats the case as I repair a lot of plastic bumpers and plastic has a memory, its just take a bit of heat to jog that memory

I leave mine flat, I find them easier to fit than ones that have been stored folded

I keep mine in the boot folded. It’s a bugger when you first get it out to put on and takes a bit of man handling but once the suns on it forms it’s true shape very quickly

My bad, I forgot to take a towel in to put on my new rear window so I could't put the roof down to try it,

Hate driving top down without mine on but they're a pain in the arse to put on and take off

There is a knack and once shown its really easy, I think it was @Mint that showed me, you leave it in the folded position when placing it in place, firstly you connect the front facing 2 catches then unfold the ends and connect them

30 secs and it's fitted bit longer to get off following @Sean d 's method and don't be frightened of opening the wings out.

Yep, easy peasy when you know

Got it out today and its a lot better then I thought and went straight on my Z, it is a bit dirty and there is a small amount of corrosion on the clips but they work perfectly, I think a good clean and some dressing and it will look as it should, its yours for £50+ postage, if I clean it up and sort it, it would go on Ebay for £100 @Jonnysnapzzz

Gees Sean, your colour scheme with the black of the tonneau looks bloody awesome

 

[Jonnysnapzzz]

Nice one, sounds good to me. Sent you a message @Sean d

I‘m having a problem finding a black tonneau cover for a reasonable price. Does anyone know where I can get one. The ones on Ebay seem a ridiculous price

 

[jaguartvr]

Normally sell for £150>£200
Beware, a lot of cheaper ones can have broken fixing poppers.
