Mine has a cover for when the roof is folded down. Never seen another car with the poppers for it.

..sounds like an aftermarket/homemade creation.. I've never seen or read about one.. of course we'll all want to see photos of it now.

Hi Dave,

Just looked at your profile picture and can just about see the end of the cover. Looks very smart, cant wait to see a full picture. I think most Chim owners are gonna want one..

I have it on good authority that Street TVR www.streettvr.co.uk on the way into Birmingham on the A38 does this roof cover conversion.

I popped in there on the way past one day.. didn't get a cost though

No probs, quick question though, how flush are the studs when the cover is off?

I like the look of this so I contacted my local TVR dealer, Waldonway, but they tell me that this is not a TVR part.
Now I'm going to try a local trimmer.
Anyone got any further information??

I wonder if you could make one that clipped under the trailing edge of the existing roof, rather than having to fit the studs..

They are just normall studs so about 5mm.

Have to say the finnish made me think it was done by TVR it fits really well.

Mmm. That's quite tidy, I think I feel a bit of wallet flex coming on!

Those covers have been about for a few years. I can't remember who but a TVR dealer used to do them. I think they where somewhere in the home counties but I could be wrong.
