Hard Boot

[tleslie]

Just came back from the Detroit Auto Show. Saleen had a nice TBIRD, but the best thing I saw was their hard boot with the special additions behind the headrests. I wonder if we can get this added to the "02" birds. I will be contacting them to see how much it will cost. I really didnt like the grill or the other changes that they did. The new soft boot is much better than the original "02" soft boot.

Please post any info you get on the hard boot with headrests.
I did see one at Kustomotive for $1750 but thought that was a bit steep. The issue I can't solve is, if you have a hard boot and go out with it on (of course the top is down) and a down pour happens, you're in trouble. No place to put the boot

George, there is a tonneau cover that can be put in the trunk. Look at tbirdroadster.com

Thanks Mr. F for the info. I looked and it looks interesting. Little concerned about the sliding under the deck so I will want to see one installed before I decide.
Thanks again

I have one of these covers, and there has never been a problem.

 

[Mr. Ford]

sauernote, do you have the one piece or two piece cover??

 

[sauernote]

My cover is one piece, and just so there is no misunderstanding, I got mine from Z3 Solutions. Here is their site:

I don't use it very much, but it is better in every way that the original Ford cover.

I have a one piece hard boot. Only problem is if rains you have no place to put it . To solve the problem I purchased a portable trunk rack to strap it to. John Scanlan

Kaminari makes a nice looking hard tonneau cover for about $600. It comes unlocked and unpainted, so it will end up around $1000. I ordered one after talking to an owner who had one.
