I thought a Tonneau cover was to cover the beds on trucks.... What are you talking about. PLEASE tell me your not planning on putting a bra on your stang!!! It would look horrible!

the's talking about a hard convertible top boot. the kind that cover the back seats as well.........at least that's what i assume he means..

and no i've never installed one..........i have installed a tonneau cover on my truck though.....that was pretty easy.

you dont install it. it slides into place and you secure it down by buckling the back seats. the only reason its 2 peice is so itll fit in your trunk. the saleens both have one peice ones and if it starts to rain and you have them on your **** outta luck

Ive got a one piece for mine, it takes up a lot of space, takes too long to put on for what you get out of it. IMO its not worth the money or effort. It came with the car is the only reason i have it.

They look great yeah but honestly, it's a huge, and i mean huge inconveiniece to take them off and put them on while trying not to scratch the paint or anything. Also, mine got a little creaky between the two pieces. Not to mention, be careful when raising those back windows. I'm glad i've got them but I've only put them on twice since april 1st

I got a two peice cover for my 94, and it is great. takes about 3 or 4 mintues to put on.
You slide it backwards and it catches on the back trim, then it snaps into two little locks
that you install on each side by the rear windows. Then you latch it into the rear seatbelt and you are done.
I got the two peice because If it rains I can take it down and put it in the back seat and then
put the top back up.
It looks awesome. mine was from ABS plastics or something like that and it was not great quality when I got it. I had to file and sand it then reinforce some fibreglass before I could get it to fit right. I think they packaged it before it was really dry and it warped a bit.
but once I got it fitted and painted its great.
I can scan a picture for ya if you want to show you how it connects and what it looks like.
let me know.
