Tonneau - complete

The final piece of the tonneau completed this morning - asymmetric top panels to allow more shoulder room when driving and the passenger side only is fitted. As before zips either side as well as lift the dot fasteners hold everything together:


The worst part is sewing in the seat back pockets on a standard sewing machine - the result is passable, a little gathered/bunched stitching in places.

The two front corners & back edge will probably need a little velcro to hold them down and prevent buffeting; I need to take it out for a test run before deciding exactly how/where though.

The fabric is waterproof Cordura, however plainly stitching it will affect that but should still keep the worst of the weather on the outside of the car.

Update Mk2 revision to stabilise the passenger side lid
