Driving with tonneau installed

[geffrocks86]

I've done a couple short highway tests with my tonneau cover installed.

I'm a bit afraid of the wind pulling up on the 2 anchor points on the dashboard while at speed.

I'd hate to see a crack on my (clean) 20+ dashboard from running with the tonneau.

Any experience with this? Should I just switch to the boot cover? But then I won't get the full on british roadster experience!

Some internet reassurance goes for miles.

Thanks all.

I have seen hammerhead roll out with his and no problems, and he has a lead foot, his car is a 93LE.

I have used mine quite a bit over the years with no issues.

Thanks all.

I'll leave it on for the next couple weeks while it's parked in the garage. It's a brand new tonneau (craigslist find $40!!), so I think I'll feel better once it's stretched out a bit.

It's the pulling effort to get the snaps on to each side mirror that freaks me out too.

Did they make jdm tonneau covers with "roadster" script instead of "miata"

That be a cool piece to have....

I've only been up to 90mph with the tonneau in place. Never an issue.
