A tonneau cover comes in handy when you park your car somewhere and don’t want to leave it open. But also gives you comfort while driving because it gives a lot of protection from rain and wind so it is multifunctional. That’s why the tonneau cover is more important than a roof when it comes to comfort.
To protect your Burton during the rain you can buy high quality tonneau covers at the Burton Car Company. You can choose between a cover with a steering wheel insert or without one.
When you have a Burton with a quick release steering wheel it’s better to fit a tonneau cover without steering wheel insert because it sits better. The tonneau cover it fitted with three zippers so you can close the cover partly. A specially on colder days you are better protected against the wind and the heater system works better with a partly closed cover.
The cover is made out of convertible roof fabric anad are specially developed for the Burton and is being fitted with push-buttons. Because they are handmade not one is the same so it is impossible to say where the push-buttons have to be fitted.
Note: The windscreen has to be fitted in order to able to fit the tonneau cover.
Marking the holes is easy with ducktape. Put the ducktape on the body and press the button of the tonneau in the tape. The button will leave a mark and you can easily drill the hole on just the right spot. See the photo’s for an example.
- Start on the front at both sides of the angled pieces of the windscreen. (see picture) The push-button’s are fitted with bolts and nuts and it is very important that the tonneau is fitted nicely tight on the car.
- You then fix the middle push-button on to the stainless steel demister plate. When you don’t have a demister plate you just measure where the hole needs to come.
- You then pull the cover nicely tight to the back and you then mark the middle push-button. (you can measure the middle from the side rail of the car). Drill the hole and fit the button.
- Fit the tonneau cover with the 4 push-buttons which you just fitted and fasten the rest of the tonneau cover with duck tape (see picture).
- When you are pleased with the result you can now mark the positions of the other push-buttons onto the body.
- Drill the remaining holes and fix the buttons on the body.
- In order to be able to fit the two buttons close to the window you’d need to take the window of the body.
- When you are not pleased with one or more locations of the buttons you can enlarge the hole and move the button until it fits perfectly.
