Or you can do what I did if your fortunate enough to have some spare
"lift-the-dot" fasteners as I do:
Make your own. I priced out tonneau covers and was damned if I was going to
pay that kind of money for what amounts
to $10-20 worth of naugahyde and a couple of dollars worth of zipper. I
went to a local fabric store and bought a couple
of yards of good quality naugahyde for $16 and a good heavy duty zipper
which went for $3.50. Then sat down at the
wife's sewing maching and proceeded to make one. Got that all done, went to
the spare parts drawers, found and fitted
the necessary "lift-the-dot" fasteners and was done. Even has a pocket for
the steering wheel to fit into.
