Ooooooooooo,
That's a real sore point with me. Some years ago I was lucky enough to
purchase an NOS tonneau still in the box.
For a short period of time I was without Sprites and a good friend with
an all original car wanted it. He had an original 100-4 Workshop Manual
still in the wrapping that I wanted. So we traded with the proviso that
he would only use the tonneau for shows, etc.
Well, the box got tossed and the tonneau he just used for everyday use.
What a shame. Now its starting to tear where he tucks it behind the
seats. He could have bought one of the junkers from Moss for everyday
use.
And that's another sore point. Moss get your act together with these
soft goods. Plastic zippers?!?!? Just what everyone wants. Tell me they
don't have any control over the quality of the soft goods.
At least I still have the 100-4 Manual which is so perfect that it looks
like a repro.
