I'm really sick of "tonneau" covers...

15! It should only take one to two. Practice a couple more times and you will have it on in no time.

Exactly. Your right!....almost! hehe.

The Convertible top is a Tonneau. The Tonneau Cover...Covers the Tonneau.

2 minutes tops. I almost always use mine. But then again I put it on at the beginning of summer and don't take it off until end of summer. Unless I need to wash the car or something.

Wow, someone else who wants a tonneau for his S2000...I have posted on this site 4 or 5 times already correcting people that the dammed thing that comes with the car is a BOOT and NOT a tonneau. No one seems to care that they look like they have no idea what they are talking about when they call it by the wrong name.

There is very little that is better on a cold winter night than driving with the top down and the tonneau cover on...heater keeps the passenger side warm and all the warm air comes back to the driver, its wonderful. Also great when you are like me and keep the top down for weeks at a time. I can't see my car from my office and I park it in a public parking lot, the tonneau would be nice to keep prying eyes out of the car.

"Soft top cover" is the official designation. If you were to think of the soft top as a tonneau, then the soft top cover would indeed be a "tonneau cover." That is, not a tonneau itself, but the cover for the tonneau.
