Dicky Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 I’ve been thinking of getting a tonneau cover. So today I picked up the phone to order one and it suddenly dawned on me that I didn’t realy know why I wanted it. If Im honest it’s just because most car sale adverts seem to include this accessory, so I thought Id better get one. I sat in the car and look at where it will fit and for the life of me I can’t see any advantage to it. So, can anyone who has one fitted explain the advantages please. Cheers Dicky Quote
AndyC Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 The only reason I got mine mate was so that if you've got anything in the boot it can't be seen by prying eyes Quote
Liam's Z Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Yep keeps things private in the boot!!! Also reduces cabin noise imo Go for the cargo net as well if your gonna purchase this... Nissan Holdcroft is the best place to buy - 20% club discount Quote
M13KYF Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 as said before, stops prying eyes. Also helps mute the sound of the fuel pump a bit. Quote

Liam's Z Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 travesty that Nissan make you pay extra for one really It's easy to make your own. And it does cut down road noise. Don't tell Tim, I made me own bit of mdf and some posh (cheapish) leather from the material shop.... 10 quid all in all Quote
jim Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 travesty that Nissan make you pay extra for one really It's easy to make your own. And it does cut down road noise. how did you fasten yours in place Jim? I followed the design illustrated in that American website that featured in a few posts back in May. (www.350zpartitions.com) The result is a snug fit - you simply push it into place from the rear and it stays firmly in place. Mine has stayed put even after the golf clubs have bashed against it a few times! Jim Quote
Liam's Z Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Jim,,, is yours in the arch or is it in the arch within the arch.... hope that make sense Quote

jim Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 It sits in the larger arch towards the rear of the car and rests up against the smaller arch, more or less. I'll try to find the pictures I posted about it before and put them back up. Jim Quote
