Hello and welcome to the Forums! When you say top boot do you mean soft top? If so their is Ez-on and Robbins.

If you mean the vinyl cover that goes over the top when it is down, then I have seen them both on Craigslist and Ebay. On CL, you can do a statewide search in the state you live in or search several states. Maybe the seller will ship the boot to you if it is some distance from where you live. I have a boot, but very seldom use it.

Save your money and look for a bargain. No one uses these. I used mine once. Took 15 minutes to put on. It's in the garage. Don't think the previous owner used it either.

I've seen 2 given away in Florida on craigslist lol, one of them went to our South Florida Community organizer and the other went elsewhere. Some people describe the "tonneau boot cover" as a pain to install and "defeating the purpose of automatic top system" because you get out of the car to stretch it from one side of the car to the other. Looks cool in my opinion when its on there but many people don't like having to deal with it.

If you are having problems putting on the "tonneau boot cover", your elastic straps for the top are probably shot and the top is not folding down enough. I replaced mine with replacements from Modifry. Top folds down completely and boot cover takes 2-3 minutes to put on or take off. Cheap and easy fix.
