Default Added Black Boot Cover

The green leather boot cover that came with the cab is very special. But for a driver it was a bit too special and IMHO added too much additional green. I found a place in Los Angeles that makes them from heavy duty German canvas and assisted in mounting the snaps and Tenex fasteners. In the end, I am happy with the fit, finish and look.

Nice. I like the black boot cover much better. What did the new cover cost? Thanks. Phil

Thanks. I got it from https://www.richandfamousautotops.com/. It is in a part of the SFV that is not the nicest in the World. But, they treated me great. I paid cash and for the heavy duty German canvas cover; it was $350. They spent about 45 minutes getting it fitted just right and mounting the snaps and fasteners.

Chuck. How do you put your top cover over the windscreen?

The only problem with having them send it to you is you'll have to install the fasteners. This takes a special tool and some skill.

The flap of the cover is folded back under itself (if that makes sense).
