Finishing the tonneau cover is top priority since I'm at the 3rd down and 2 yard line on that project. I was going to make the boot cover the next priority since I have the designs already drawn out and just need to put together a prototype. However, since the rear window is an easy solution, I'm assuming, I can get to work on that next.

I will keep the board updated through Rick.....the next step is to get a hold of Rick, though.

I would almost certainly buy the tonneau cover, but only if it included an integrated boot cover. It's been years since I owned my MGs, but it seems to me those tonneaus incorporated the boot cover. And some means of using the windscreen would be highly desirable, and perhaps essential.

I've also been patiently (?) waiting for a tonneau cover, for many of the reasons cited by others. I'd prefer to have it integrated with a boot cover (which I don't use, as mine has NEVER worked, despite taking it to the dealer for the TSB - a-r-g-g-g-h).

I'm in, either way !!

Luder, last year I recall you were investigating a folding glass rear window for 00/01 drivers. What ever happened to this - is it still alive or did it die due to technical problems?

I'm definitely interested if it is still a goer

I'm still very, very interested. It's just what I need to make these midwinter roadtrips from NC to NY!

Luder, I was wondering when you were going to start working on this again. Glad to see that you're making progress again. The tonneau cover is something I would be interested in. Will there be some mechanism to allow you to lock it in place for security reasons???

The zipper window thing sounds interesting too. This is the first time I've heard of this idea from you. Guess i missed it in the last post.

Forgot to say I'd prefer zipper to velcro because the zipper could be locked to provide a little protection.

I'm still very interested in this project and hope you can find a suitable supplier. But I do believe, strongly, that it needs to allow for the stock and/or aftermarket windscreens. I can't imagine driving the S without my Rick's Aeroscreen! And much as I'd really love the look and convenience of a tonneau, having to remove the windscreen would be a deal breaker, for me.
