The Veilside Web site is:

They have a list of distributors on their web site. I bought mine from...

MVP Motorsports, Inc.
940-683-8282 - Retail
940-683-3575 - Dealers
www.MVPmotorsports.com

I paid $423 for the veilside tonneau cover, and $110 for shipping. Then I paid a local body shop $200 to paint it for me. they cut it in half for free and then I bought some hardware to bolt the two pieces back together (cutting the tonneau cover in half allows you to store it in the trunk). If you don't cut the cover in half, then if it rains you have to choose between leaving the cover by the road side, or letting rain into the cock pit. Neither choice appealed to me.
do you have some information or DIY about how to get the hardware and put them back together.

I'm about to cut mine in half, I would use it more if i can bring it up me.

I always used mine, much cleaner look. But I recently upgraded my top to canvas with a glass rear window on my 01. Now the top sticks up a couples inches more than before and the boot won't snap in place.

I put it on once and had enough. It is now ageing in the garage...

Also had a Miata. I put the cover on it a few times. That one was a real finger breaker!

I forgot to even ask about it when I bought my S used. If I got one I guess I could have sold it -- I hate the way the cover looks, but I guess that makes me the exception.

Anyone want to sell their unused* cover to me? I'll pay the $60 quoted in this thread over Paypal, and $20 (or actual cost, whatever is higher) shipping to Palatine IL (60067), UPS ground.

Email me if you are interested, Christopher (DOT) Stack (AT) mac (DOT) com.


*Unused as in you're not using it, not necessarily as in "never been used." I do want a new-condition one, however. Not the one with the spides all over it mentioned in the thread
