I'm conscious of not wanting to hijack your thread Merv, but I'm really curious to know how many Cobra drivers actually use their soft tops?
Perhaps CC members who do use their soft tops/tonneau covers could share how much they use them as well as the materials and fixing methods?
Personally, I have not used either yet, but then, I've only been driving my cobra for 3 months or so!
I honestly cannot see me ever using the soft top, but I may use the tonneau cover if I was to park and leave the car for long periods?
The Superformance Cobra uses the chrome post type of fastener similar to the type you see on most old British sports cars or on old Ausssie ute tonneau's! The material is just good quality thick vinyl with a softer material backing on it.
fyi...I did a quick Google search on tonneau fasteners and came across a pretty good looking black chrome fastener called a "Tennax" fastener on the following website
