Diputs89 Posted July 20, 2022 Author Report Posted July 20, 2022 Teamstupid460@att.net THANKS Shop needed to see boot before they would commit to making one
Diputs89 Posted July 20, 2022 Author Report Posted July 20, 2022 How does the boot attach in the back ?
brad Posted July 20, 2022 Report Posted July 20, 2022 There is a gap under the trim around the back edge. The boot has a nylon strip sewn to it that tucks under the trim. The front edge snaps to the rear upholstery side panels.
Diputs89 Posted July 20, 2022 Author Report Posted July 20, 2022 Thanks Brad now to find someone to make it
Stacey Posted July 20, 2022 Report Posted July 20, 2022 Just sent the photos, on looking at the construction of that top cover it is a lot of work to make a replacement I would think. Whomever did it was an artist as it is sewn and glued in pieces to make the cover look correct. There is a sturdy piece of plastic sewn into the cover that tucks under the moulding that runs around the rear opening of the top roof area. Then it also has a plastic lip that tucks between the rear seat and the metal support for that seat. Pretty involved construction. Hope the photos go through if not let me know. weighit@gmail.com Stacey
