Makers of Tonneau Covers?
Hi Guys,
I've had no luck in finding a 2nd hand tonneau cover for my IFS D/C. Do any of you perhaps know of a manufacturer in or around CT that could perhaps make one for my bakkie?
Thanks

Scheet ... that piece of valuable information entitles you to 10 free rides on the custom made sand board I'm busy building for the next dune outing

The hard board ones worked perfectly well... it's just my technique that sucked!

IIRC I paid R 600 for the whole package from Flexi Covers... Buff give Reyno a call at imperial toyota in Brackenfell, 021 980 0500 or from 1 Nov... 021 982 2080, he can give you a price on the original Toy cover!

The Flexi-Cover i got 3 years ago is lasting really well... still looks new, when I give it a good clean!

Re: Makers of Tonneau Covers?
With regards to tonneau covers...
I bought mine on gumtree (was about R300) for a brand new cover in mint condition. Look around there are bargains to be had! Just be a bit patient - I found mine after 3 months.
Contacted flexi-covers (Sandy is a wonderful, helpful person!) Bought the alu strip (that the front of the cover slides into) and the 2 plastic pieces that the metal hoop fits into from them - can't remember the price, but it was very reasonable!
BTW a COLT (I dare say it!) "hoop" (The metal bar that fits from side to side and stops the cover from sagging in the middle) fits 100% and the last time I bought one it cost something silly like R29 from Mitsubishi?! It also looks better as I have always felt that the Toyota one sits to high and looks odd!
Toyota also quoted me something crazy (over R900) for the "KIT" - which is just the cover, the "hoop" and the alu strip (and guess what - it does NOT fit itself!)
My 2c worth.

You can try this guy : Allen Roberts - 083 4777 040.
He made covers for me before at very good prices.
He works from his house in Elsies.
