Hey, any of you going to Conclave Texas that happen to have experience fitting a tonneau and boot cover, give me an e-mail! Regards, Stever
 
Not going there but the tonneau is not that hard. If you have the the tenex posts already on the car just lay it over and start at the back-center post and from there go left then right around alternating. I got a 1/4 inch leather punch at a craft store and used a hammer to punch the holes. Then its just a matter of screwing in the fastners. Here is the problem: If you do it at night or in cold weather, it will sag in the heat of the sun. If you do it out side in the sun as I did you have to streach it in the cold mornings. Lay a cloth down and do one fastner at a time then put it on the car to pick location for the next. On and off, on and off, very boring. But be patient. Oh yea. I used a yellow marker while it was on the car to put a dot where I was going to punch. And I measured from the edge to match each side as I went along. Good luck.
