i will get a phone number and address for u,he is doing in his backyard in yeppoon

I am interested. Got an address/email/website etc??

As for locking the lid down. I am thinking of using magnetic locks in both rear corners of the ute. To do this all that is needed is small round metal disks mounted on the lid. The magnetic locks can offer up to 300kg lock force per corner.

it has a fibre glass insert that screws into the cabin section and it hinges at the start of the tray.it seems to be waterproof but u could make a rubber seal to go around it if u wanted to it also has a lock on the back of it ,u just have to cut a 2 inch slot in the centre of your tailgate to make it work,but all in all it looks really good.

How does the lid seal around the rear cabin corners of the ute?? Is it water proof or just like a normal cover??

if anyone is interested i just found a bloke with a mould to make fibreglass hardtop tonneau covers for 1200 utes,the only down side is they cost 450 bucks and u paint them yourself,ijust had one made it is a beautiful fit .will post a pic shortly.
