Reply to "Beige full tonneau"

Installed the full tonneau this week. I purchased German Tenax fasteners from Eagle Day. The intent was to replace all button snaps with Tenax fasteners. I’m addition to adding new posts and fasteners at the dash, I had to replace all the “Emergency Top’s” button heads as well. 

The costs certainly add up here. I did not replace the snaps in my 1/4 tonneau. As I understand I won’t need it anymore. 

Two lessons learned. 

1. If you need to remove the windshield to drill the posts at the dash, chances are the snaps are too close to the windshield. This may be difficult to snap and unsnap later. My windshield was removed, and snapping the tonneau in place at this location isn’t very easy. 

2. Make sure the zipper in the middle extends to or past the “split line” (ie the split in tonneau at the door jamb. Mine does not, and there is a slight angle from the jamb to the zipper. Taller guys may hit the tonneau. I do at 6’. I may have the upholstery guy extend the zipper. 

 

I used the locations found above.
