[TR] Tonneau cover for TR3 / early TR3A

[Hdefer]

Randall, I had the same problem with that tonneau from Moss.  
Unfortunately, it came with the "package" I bought from the previous  
owner who had started renovation. I am planning to do the same as I  
did with my 190SL  and have it custom made locally. It was far  
superior in quality and actually much cheaper.
If interested  I'll be happy to provide you with details
Hans
