Any idea of what vinyl to cover tonneau (gray)?
Any idea of what vinyl to cover tonneau (gray)?
What to replace the vinyl on my tonneau cover but don't know what kind of durable and won't fade fast vinyl. I want to replace the vinyl because Mustang Marty was showing me the tonneau cover he got from Hank and can you believe it is made out of fiberglass and the edges are rough no way I will be more than happy to replace the vinyl on it.

The original ascMcLaren installation vinyl material was limited to gray or tan. Hank has those & other colors, such as white & red.

I am of course speaking of the vinyl applique that sits ON the tonneau cover. The actual tonneau cover that covers the well where the roof folds down into is body color painted.

The early ASC McLaren convertibles had a hard black plastic piece covered by the vinyl. The plastic in many cases cracked over time due to heat/cold conditions and seperated underneath the vinyl as well as from the mounting area directly on the car. Not a pretty sight. I know from experience. Not sure if the Mustangs had the same cover or not. The fiberglass Hank is selling should be far more durable and last much longer than the original plastic. Once covered with the vinyl no one would ever know it was a replacement job! Well, except for Sandy, Mike, Hank and possibly a few others...87ASC wrote:Now you said he has other colors that nice but are those colors vinyl of fiberglass tonneau. My interior is grey so it don't matter that it is limited to gray and tan. I need gray vinyl to cover the orginal tonneau.
Well, you see I have vinyl. But I bought (I got this in Denver, CO when me and my dad were visiting and going to the Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup because he new were to get it because he had grew up their) some vinyl but its for the interior. Don't know if it will fade fast or not. I have the vinyl ok, I asked my mom to get me a sewing machine to re-upolhster but I don't know how to use the thing. Sit their for 1 hour or so and all I manage to do is make the needle go up and down and take it a part
