Yes, I recall seeing something posted up on this recently; if I can find the thread I'll post it up as a reply.

Thanks! this gives me options. I'll wait to see if we can get leather ones and the cost before I make a purchase.

Yeah, i ended up having to recover mine with part of an old leather tonneau cover i had laying around. Not easy, especially the corners, but doable.

That's what i was thinking and I don't have the patience to take it apart and put it back together. I'm going to go to a Upholstery shop and see what it woud cost to have them redo it.

I've found a trim shop locally that will double stitch the top of the cover for me in the color I want. I will then have the Gods head stiched intothe top of the cover as in a previous post. Will post pictures when it is all completed and installed.

Interested in seeing it when done, like the idea of the stitched logo, should be nice.
