However, from a manufacturing point of view, I don't think MMC can be faulted for not offering an option that was once there and I seriously doubt a sale will be lost because of it. From the info I have seen, there is a small option uptake on the tonneau cover when it was offered.
Personally, I find even a leaky roof to be much more water proof than a tonneau when driving. I've got the 9 stud roof and can't ever recall even a drop of water coming in. My tonneau on the other hand was a vanity purchase and sadly sits in the shed 99% of the time I take the car out.
Just my two cents - or perhaps just one cent
Fair enough, I'm not criticising your viewpoint, it's the logic (if true) of the MMC position that I find unfathomable:
- "Please may I have a tonneau cover on my £90k traditional open sports roadster?"
- "I'm afraid not, we don't offer that option any more"
- "Oh, that's a pity. Why have you stopped?"
- "Because we can't be arsed to make our cars waterproof. You lot will buy them anyway."
