foster461 Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Get a big beach towel to fold and place over the folded top before you put the cover on. It will protect the window and help fill out the cover so it looks neater. Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Such a simple shape it would be hard for any one to make a really bad one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are right Stan it made it look very neat. I will get around to it myself someday. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trumpy Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 I bought a cover from Rimmer’s this very weekend, tempted by a 10% off offer ! choice of vinyl , double duck or mohair. They v kindly allowed me to try both the d duck and mohair covers onto the car and I went for the d duck as it seemed slightly larger than the mohair and indeed it has fitted extremely well . Also cheaper but the press studs aren’t included so that adds another £20 quids to the price . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
