tonneau cover fix

[eiblish]

:coolman: Vert owners with tonneau problems......if you have had your tonneau cover blow off at speed, or just lift up and threaten to, here is a fix. I have attached leather straps (cut from a belt) to the back of the rear seat support, and, using snap-studs, clip them to the tonneau cover. Leather straps are about 6" long, and I had an upholsterer fit the snap-studs to straps and tonneau. Straps are attached to seat-support with screws and collared washers (to allow straps to swing down out of sight when not in use). Looks good and holds tight at any speed. Pictures attached.

OH MY GOD! Shrink that picture man!

I recommend just buying the soft tonneau cover ford offers.

Well, it's a good fix for the crappy cover Ford gave us. The cover on my 1995 GT Vert was so much better. It never came loose and was very easy to put on. I wonder why ford changed it?

Yeah, those fit my 19 inch screen better

Nicely done. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think it looks good and your cover seems to fit a lot better than mine does.
I have the other cover posted too...I don't like it, so if anyone wants it let me know.
