McMuttley Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Nope, but have this one from the TRR shop... http://www.tr-registershop.co.uk/convertible-top-cover-h-33-p.asp its OK - very light Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Smith Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Hi Mike, I looked at that one too some time back but decided it was too thick and bulky to store in the boot with other kit etc - so bought one of these http://www.cover-systems.co.uk/car-covers/toponlycarcover.htm for the TR3A and TR6 - very lightweight and packs up very small into it's own bag. Cover-Systems also tailored the TR3A one for me (small exra charge) and extended the front flap to stop water draining through the vent flap into the footwells.

North London Mike Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Has anybody any experience with this cover from Prestige? http://www.cabrioshield.com/uk/triumph-tr6.html Mike Hi Mike Just bought one, delivered yesterday, good fit, it is purpose made, hidden fixing are clever. Andrew's comment is well made though, it is quite bulky but a worthwhile trade off for something made for the car (I already have a lightweight one ) Folds down nice and neat for storage PM me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richard61 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I have one of the heavy duty ones, it folds easily in its plastic bag, still loads of room in boot for weekend bags. It worked well in heavy rain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I thought about one of these, but, from the website images, couldn't see how it was held to the car. I ended up buying the Hamilton one - would be interested to know how the fastenings do work, as I could be interested in the future ....... Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james christie Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 From a trader stall at Malvern a few years ago, I bought a very soft - and rather well made - indoor cover for my 3A. I think for about £45. Unfortunately mice have moved in over the summer whilst it was folded up on a shelf in my garage, chewed it up a bit and then and have bred in it. Can anybody point me in the direction of the supplier? James Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andy The one that I have is fixed by using the same fixings on the Door and Back Panel that the Tonneau uses and just Sits Down over the Windscreen.

TR NIALL Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Thanks Niall, much appreciated Cheers, Andy There is also another type that use an Elasticated Strap that goes around the Door Mirror. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richard61 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 poppers on the back, velcro straps around the mirrors and plastic wedges in the door jams to hold the front down securely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyler10 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Niall, Who was the supplier of your cover. I've been looking for one that uses the same fixing,on my 5,as the Tonneau. Tyler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR NIALL Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi Tyler,mine came from the States and the Company was The Carriage Company but alas they are since gone out of Buisness. With a bit of imagination you should be able to fix some Studs that match the Recivers along the Door,you would only need one front and back of each Door. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyler10 Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Niall hi, Thanks for your reply.I'll leave it for the time being and wait for next year's International W/E and check out what other 5 Owners have.Like to see something in "the flesh". Thanks again. Tyler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevor Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I have one of these for use on my MX5 and its very good quality and fixes simply in doors and trapped in the boot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
