[TR] TR3 Tonneau Cover

[Dave1massey at cs.com]

I have two tonneaus for the TR6 and the both fit equally well.  That is to 
say they both don't fit worth a darn.  I'm tempted to sew on some cloth 
straps at the front for the grommets.  Then they might reach.

Tonneaus are a neat device but only if they actually fit.
