ERA Tonneau Cover

[speed220mph]

I've learned over time that it's wise to use ERA supplied parts on your ERA cars because of quality, originality, response time and fit. That's been my experience. Such is the case with the tonneau cover. If the cost of a part or assembly happens to be more, you only cry once.

The quality of the fitted tonneau that ERA supplied me is equal to or better than anything else I've seen from a custom "Top Shop." As for price, I think I paid $600 for it in 2007 including installation of the "snaps." The tonneau that I had custom made to fit my MG, including cutouts for the roll bar cost me about $200 in 1975. I'd say the ERA tonneau was pretty reasonably priced considering that 32 years had passed between the two.

Does the tonneau:

1) Keep rain out well if you're accidentally caught in a deluge? Or does it leak a lot?

2) Keep rain out in a light/medium rain while driving?

3) How long does it honestly and truthfully take to put on the tonneau? (it taks me a good 15 minutes to get my damn top up, so I carry a canvas tarp in the trunk in case I'm caught in a downpour)

4) And when driving, does it get in the way of your right arm while shifting? Or is it comfortable to drive with it on?

You're actually beginning to sprout a clever sense of humor.
