Convertible Friends - A Question

[Weser 30]

Just pondering stuff on the way to work as you do and for some reason thought of this.

 

On my Cti whenever I put the tonneau cover over the hood when its down, I always get loads of dust and sand under the cover resting on the hood.

 

Anyone else get this? Is it because I am not getting a good compression/seal on my boot seal?

Sounds like the sponge rubber lining of your tonneau cover has rotted...had this with my previous tonneau cover.

[Weser 30]

Hang on really you think the material has gone porous? Didn't know it does that over time. How can I tell for sure I'm surprised if it has because it would mean it's letiing sand through.

I get a golden dust too when putting my tonneau on. It is just the foam in the inner lining breaking down a bit and coming through the mesh

Ahh ok I get it now. It's the insides falling out not the dirt coming through. Thanks guys!

I think is is the glue that secures the plastic mouldings to the tonneau breaking down or what Henry said above, or both!

So what you are saying H is that you are used to a bit of a golden shower? Hmmmmmm.....

That is how us CTI boys roll. Why do you think Bofrus is keen to get his on the road...
