Tonneu Cover?

Well I didnt really notice it when I bought my car, but it did not come with the stock tonneu cover. Is there a place where I can get one? I am also missing the passenger side "cap" that the cover clicks into. Any info would be appreciated!

I got one on ebay too, said "like new", but it showed up with many large scratches and no carrying bag. So get it off ebay, but email the seller first to get a feel for if you trust the seller. I was lucky, paypal told me to ship it back and when they received the package paypal gave me all my money except the return shipping. It was a big PITA though. I was going to get another one, but all I read is everybody uses it once then it clutters the garage, so I haven't even bothered to pick one up.

I am looking for one as well. Checked Ebay and they only had one, and it was the wrong color. Somebody has to sell these. Anyone know?

On Ebay (only 12 hours left):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-...QQcmdZViewItem
or (5 days left):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-02...QQcmdZViewItem
Try a couple different searches. There will probably be more available as it warms up.

I use mine a lot. No bag, so I made one.

Interesting question. It's possible, but I would guess not. And because of the high cost, I wouldn't even try.

The side pieces are simple single thickness plastic. The center piece is at least double wall and a much sturdier part.

That little cap appears to be part of the side panel assembly and may not be available as a seperate part from the dealer. I would recommend writing to Ebay sellers who are parting out cars and ask them for it.
