Soft tonneau but different..

[Razor-]

Hey,
Recently i saw a commodore ute (I think it was a vs or vr) It had a soft tonneau but instead of straps going down the side it had press studs on the top, So it looked like a hard cover until you got up close and saw the shiny press stud things,

Was wondering if anybody has any experience with these? Any good? I would prefer a hard lid but they are obviously a lot more expensive. Are these kits? Eg come with the tarp with the studs on it and you screw the others into the top of the tub? Or do you think its a custom job? Ive seen it once before but forgot all about it..

just found a pic of the same thing

uncle had it on his vs ute, after a while the studs farked up and it was shocking

studs on the ute or on the tonneau?
I wouldnt really be putting anything in the tub that i would have to stretch the cover over so there wouldn't be much strain on it...

[nicko]

the studs on the torneau clipped down on the tray.

I dont think it would be too hard to make your own. Putting studs into the material is easy and just buy a big needle and wreak you mrs's sewing machine lol

its called a flat top, was toying with the idea for my ute but i got a hard top instead. take your old tonneau to a auto trimmer and tell em what you want.

yeah dont have any tonneau at all at the moment, would really like a hard lid butthe budget aint onna allow it,
Just the perks of working at pizza hut haha

[nicko]

old pizza boxes might do the trick

lmao nicko, a guy i knew glued his tonneau onto ply wood in his ford ute. actually looked ok. dont know how he ancored it though.

so does anybody know where i can get a kit or cover?

[Razor-]

If i got one of these covers would i need to get them bars in the back that stop the cover sagging?

Is it possible to buy these or do i just need to fabricate my own?

..::| Blueys Ute World - We Sell Accessories For Utes |::.. you dont need the metal band but i suggest you have one, when it rains it will pool in the middle and sag eventually. ask these guys, but i would go to an auto upholsterer.

yer i e-mailed one of the Ute cover shops and they said they can do me one for $220 posted,

Whats the band that goes in the back called?

[Razor-]

do they make bars for vs utes because the only ones i can find are or falcons..
