Interestingly enough it doesn't leak when there are no downpours.

I dunno what they put on the stitching but it didn't work.

Time to fit the new $500 tonneau cover

I have a knife and tonneau cover in the box



Cameo appearance



I didn't read the instructions



The naked ute. Note piece of wood to fight off the chicks with.



Using solar energy which is free in Central Qld to soften up the tonneau cover



Job done





I informed the resident gecko to tell his mates not to sheet on the new tonneau cover, or else!



First touch of sunlight





For sale

Used tonneau cover with accessories.
Dead snake not included.
Doesn't leak on sunny days.

$12

Something to cheer you up, Cav.. I don't need the pesky light getting on the road, I've had too many beers in the arvo to drive at night:



Sheesh though, one base coat, 3 colour (what Supercheap calls Lightning Strike) and 6 coats of clear. 10 hours.

I like ya new yoot.
