Got my tonneau installed today

I was gonna do it myself but I just didn't have the nerve to drill the holes. Better to let a professional do it.

Looks great, yep sometimes its just best to pay a pro!

Oh come on! So your hands get a little sweaty, they shake a little. What's the worse that could happen? A saggy cover is no big deal! Just kidding, been there, done that. Like Riptide said, sometimes it's best to let the pros do it. Looks real good! I wouldn't have the guts to do it.

Its a Factory 5 John advertised in the parts area of the roadster. I have a buddy with a 29 roadster and he put on a tonneau over the summer and I was asking him about it. Asked how hard it was and he said the hardest part was drilling the first hole, after that it was easy. He looked at my car and said some of the places are really hard to get to so I'd be better off having someone who knew what they were doing as opposed to someone who thinks he knows what he's doing. I took that to mean he wasn't gonna help. One thing the upholstery place did is used heavy duty snaps instead of the lift- a - dots or whatever they are called. I took it for a ride last night, got it up to 60-70 and while there was some buffeting the snaps held fine. The two lift a dots were loose. I think it looks a lot cleaner with the snaps.
