Guest Rustler Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hi M8.. Where did you get that from,I've been looking for 1 for ages....nice buy.. is it in Vynal or Mohair? Your question!! there have been 1 or 2 queries in the "club" forums over the last few months regarding "Full Tonneau's", but from the other angle....."what are these studs on the dash just behind the windscreen for?"........From what I can gather ,a "Full Tonneau" was an EXTRA available to order when placing the original order for your NEW CABBY......The factory would then position the FRONT studs in the appropriate position on the dash......if the cover was'nt specified ,then NO STUDS as per your car,and mine. If I can get a good one ,my plan would be to find a hood or sail maker and get them to either supply or fit the required dash studs further back from where the originals should be(if u don't want to take the dash out)and fit new fittings further back on your cover to line up with the new dash studs........I'm fairly sure that would work ok without costing much. Do'es your cover have pockets for the seat backs or would you have to fold the seats forward ? is there a zip between the dtivers and passenger's seat? to enable the car to be driven with half of the cover in position over the passenger's side.Are there any fittings attached to the cover to hold it to the door tops?...........................Perhaps some 1 else may be able to confirm or disagree with my theory............ All the best M8, hope you manage to sort IT....either way I'd like to know how you get on Regards Rustler....Sth West France..with hood always down!!!

Guest RelaxedDiver Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Cheers for the reply, Its a vynal one, with matching roof tonneau. was just surfing ebay and saw it, it also came with a wind deflector :-) Its got the zip down the middle, not sure what you mean by "pockets for the seat backs or would you have to fold the seats forward?" but if you take the headrests its fine. Ill try and take some photos in a bit. have you got any links to the sites about the studs on the dash? Regards RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RelaxedDiver Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Found my camera the front end of the tonneau, the passenger side has more stud attachments than the drivers at the back behind in the window part, there is a velcro flap on the top. this is where the ghia/karman symbol is on mk5/6 hooks either side of the hole cut out for the b pillar T bar on elastic, coming from the cut out for the a pillar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest brummie231 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 To attatch the cover to the dash you need four Tenax Studs thats to say, screw one end into dash the cover fits to the top of the Tenax , hope thats clear, I got one off E-Bay have't got round to fitting it yet.

allblue Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I was watching that on ebay, but forgot all about it, doh! Didn't realise the dash had to have studs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brummie231 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 es, the studs came with the cover, still not sure if I want to spoil the look of the dash by fitting them, looking at the photos I have still not fathomd out where the Tbar on the elastic goes or where the hooks round the pillar go.

Guest Rustler Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hi. Relaxediver. Have seen "brummie's reply about TENAX studs. Do'nt know if it'll be of any help but I see that there are tonneau repair kits on ebay,which include both male and femail "Tenax" TYPE! studs in the kit......... if your interested there on 260562969631 and 260562969007. Also you may want to try "Basilbears" STICKY.. in "Replacement Hoods" forum and contact his Hood Specialist .....Creaseycartrimmers.co.uk...who may be able to answer some of your queries.. Meantime best of luck with your "Tonneau" and Windbreak"............Rustler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Feeble Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 My mother used to work at a place that trimmed yachts! I had a few poppers replaced on my tonneau cover, and I'm sure she could have supplied the male versions for the dash! They're out there mate, you've just gotta know where to look!

Guest brummie231 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I've looked at those two items one-bay, you only get the press studs for the cover, you will still need to get four Tanex studs to screw into the dash. brummie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brummie231 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 If you type Tanex into your search engine you will find any number of suppliers, the ones you want are 20mm long, self tapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brummie231 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 There are two tonneau covers for mk5/6 250638049067/150417838725 on e-bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
