I had one of these tonneau covers on my MGB way back when. Do they make such a thing for the 5th gen? I loved having this, and think it would be great on the camaro. I've been looking on line, but maybe not using the correct term for it nowadays.

Not to my knowledge.

Not that I know of. But on the bright side here is a great business op for someone

There used to be the roadster covers, for just the back seating area. There was
a set on FB Marketplace for $50. I posted them to a group, and they sold immediately.

Yeah, actually i got in fist dm to him for those speedster cover. The guy refused to ship them. I even said he could take to the ups store and have them pack it, and I'd pay for that and shipping. Not sure who got it, but I am jealous. That's what got me thinking about the old style tonneau covers.

Edit: then i told my wife about after the fact. She started yelling about how much money i spend on that car.

Ha! I had two! A 72' Chrome bumper and a 79' Rubber bumper. I had those covers on both years. I haven' seen anything like that for our cars, but, I'm sure a custom upholstery shop could fabricate one. Unlike the MGBs with the stud locks, you'd have to find a way to secure it. I'm sure it would cost a pretty penny though!

Wow... those covers would be awesome.... I remember some Mustangs having them.

Here is a set I found online for a Gen4 Camaro

As with anything, any custom canvas shop can tailor make one. The issue
is, putting the snaps where they need to be. You want want to be riveting
snaps all along the top of the door and body? Who knows, but if so, make
sure they're hidden when the top is UP.

Still, where there's money, there's a way. I don't see a problem with a
canvas shop making one. They make custom covers for boats, so I don't
see why they could not make one for the Gen5 convertible.
