Default ERA Tonneau Cover

My ERA tonneau cover came finished except for location of the snaps. I took measurements off a buddy's original 427 Cobra to get the pattern for the top/tonneau cover lift-a-dots.

Because I had laid-back my windshield, modified my top to fit the windshield angle, and modified my roll bar to add a rear brace, my stock ERA tonneau cover was not going to fit right. The ERA guys were very accomodating, and exchanged the cover for one they custom made to fit my car. I took an old bedsheet and drew the pattern I wanted on it, (including cut-outs for the unique roll bar configuration) and sent it to them. They made up a new tonneau that was longer than their standard piece, and had zippers and velcro closures in it to fit perfectly around my roll bar.

I didn't price another source for a Cobra tonneau cover, however, I recently had a tonneau cover professionally made for a '57 T-Bird I was restoring, and I think the ERA tonneau cover was a better quality piece.

regards,

Jeff
