I think Year One has them, but you will pay a premium for it. Everyonce in awhile one will pop up on here or ebay. Good Luck!

Ebay, there's one on there every once in a while. Be prepared to spend a few hundred dollars though. They are not cheap but they'll be cheaper than what you would spend buying a new one.

Yes, it will cover the whole top. Look at the other pictures. The picture with the bag also shows the middle piece. It is a three-piece cover.

It is called a convertible top boot. Some people may call it a tonneau cover, but tonneau covers are the type that cover the area that the top folds into as well as the back seat area.

I got mine on ebay for $157. They regularly go on ebay for around $300. Be patient and keep looking. It will pay off. A new one from the dealership will go for $1000+.
