Tonneau

Post by MattD »

I'm now starting to think about a Tonneau for the Stylus.

Will probably end up going to Jill Judd, but could be tempted to have a go at making the pattern myself.

The obvious answer is to cover the rear deck & have a split front section attached to the top edge of the dash.
Its the edge along the door tops that I really don't know what to to do with.

The main intention is to run with the passenger side covered in general use, plus having the option to cover over if parked up at B&Bs, at Le Mans, etc.
I think it'll be very difficult to keep the water out, so its really just to keep prying eyes away, & a bit of aero help.

Does anyone else have a tonneau fitted ?? Could do with some pics for ideas. :wink:

Thanks

Prefer Jill's solution of a half hood but if you go with a tonneau then removing the side angled screens will help keep it all level - ish . Dash end higher than rear bulkhead is the ideal or the dash will fill with water in a downpour :roll:
Maybe a few raised rubber bobbins onto the dashtop would deal with that problem . Possibly Sikaflexed on but bolt end cut off and hood fixings in their place . Sikaflex is handy stuff.
I just love the Stylus but she keeps swallowing £££ !
