BOGFROG's Tonneau Bar

Post by alien »

All it took was 4 hex screws, two of which utilise the existing holes where the seatbelt clips used to attach.. the other one i let the screw drill, it perfectly straddles the clips used to secure the inner panels too! (coincidence).

The bar itself is 3 pieces which have an allen screw to secure the two arms from the center peice... and its stainless steel! (awesome!)

I poured a 9L bucket of water over the tonneau in one big whoosh then drizzled the last bit out, all the water ran off except for 2 small pools behind the seats (in the last image, through the targa support bar.. in that area). It was slowly dripping out though and none of it came inside which was a big plus.

Im now waiting on a strap from Maria at MU Canvas that connects between the top of the windjammer and the bottom (where there are 2 studs already). This will tension the back window to pull the tonneau up and eliminate the pooling behind the seat =) Maria is making those straps for $18 incl. postage, a good deal considering i cant sew or do studs!
