ID Tonneau cover
Need help to ID Tonneau cover for 356 Porsche. I may have spelled that wrong.
It does NOT fit Speedster, 58 Cab or 60 Cab.
Roadster perhaps?
Distance between fasteners above the engine lid is 35 inches.

Re: ID Tonneau cover
You spelled it right, John. But if it doesn't fit a Speedy or a cab, and you're sure it's for a 356, what else could it be but Roadster? Roadster top boots don't look like that one.

Re: ID Tonneau cover
Based on the measurements it would not fit my roadster.
Not sure what it for but seems much larger.

Re: ID Tonneau cover
I had a cab tonneau that was shrunken quite a bit, off by maybe 2” in width.

Re: ID Tonneau cover
This one fits my 60 Cab except for the Tennax points and its not tall enough to fit
a Cabrio top. Its the size of the Speedster cover but the fasteners are in the wrong place.
My best guess, Conv D?

Re: ID Tonneau cover
Here is an original Convertible D tonneau. It's a fairly tight fit so I usually let it in the sun for a bit and then install and it tightens up very nicely. I can get some measurements if you need them.

Re: ID Tonneau cover
I just now realized we have been discussing top boots, not tonneau covers. Tim just pictured an actual tonneau cover.

Hi Tim
Looks like mine is not for a D either.
It has no fasteners on the back above the engine lid, there is 35 inches of empty space.
Your cover has the fasteners.
