Does anyone know where I can get a tonneau cover from and how much they cost?

IIRC someone had one made up for a good price by a camping shop. Do you mean a for when you can't be bothered to put the roof on?

Yeah, I don't want someone using it for a rubbish bin if I leave it down!

I had one made up for a tenner.
Its a rectangular sheet that covers where the roof panels go. Very useful when parked not only for protection against rain but leaves, seagull bombs etc.

It is just a rectangle with an eyelet at each corner
where I have an elastic bungy strap.
The front two go round the wing mirrors and the back two hook on the rear wheels.
It is more waterproof than the roof panels and is quick to fit
I keep it folded up behind the seat

I'll get some measurements and pics

Hi, I made a shower cap that fits over with the rear bit up, it is shaped to fit over the windscreen and rear window. That way the car is pretty closed. It has elastic loops that go over the mirrors, but needs loops at teh back, fitted under the rear edge of the roof. Cost £20 for the vynil. Did you know though, if you don't secure the car using hte roof and every other security item, it is not insured if it is nicked (according to my policy docment). Nic
