The Superformance tonneau covers are made on a custom jig at the factory. While they have replaced the jig a few times over the years, they are pretty much the same in shape, the fasteners being the parts were changes have occurred. I have fit a cover from a 800 series car to a 1700 series and to a 2000+ series car and they fit quite well. But there was a change in the style of fastener used near the rear ends of the doors when the started to offer the newer style top with drop down rear windows. Originally all connectors were Lift-a-Dot style but on later cars 2 connectors have been changed to a different style. Check your convertible top connectors to see if you have 2 odd connectors or not at the back of the doors. You can change the 2 old style connectors to the newer style if necessary, but you will have problems going from new back to original style due to the holes on the cover for the connectors. If you contact me directly I can help you out with this. None of the tonneau covers fit perfectly on any car due to the robust material they are made of and the compound curves they must conform too. (see Einstein's theory of warped space, gravity and time) And yes, they do damage the paint with repeated use. There are a few tricks to minimize the damage to the paint, but light scratching will occur regardless. My email is below for further information...... Blas
