Vinyl wear stickers on the tonneau cover LOOK INSIDE

I will be getting some of the wear stickers made I can get more made and they will be definitely under $100 not positive yet though but I need a template of the two side pieces. These will be exact replica's and will be made of a good quality 7 year vinyl and can be positioned like window tint then the glue sets. This would be better anyway because most of the decals that are left are yellowed now. If anyone is interested or can make me a template of the side pieces LMK. If you can make a quick trace of the sides I will pay for postage and give $5 or whatever for your time.

Re: Vinyl wear stickers on the tonneau cover LOOK INSIDE

What side pieces? The quarter panel caps? I wouldn't think you'd need a template of those to make the vinyl decal?

If you really do get some of these made I will buy one from you, no kidding around. I don't have one on my car right now, just a few extra coats of clear from when I got the tonneu cover repainted a few years ago.

these are the side pieces I was talking about. If anyone can make a template off theirs I would really appreciate it.

Oh you mean the other small portion of vinyl not attached to the tonneu cover. I see. I forgot that was even there.

I've been looking for a set. I'm about to have my car painted and the one that's on there now is flaking off.

Re: Vinyl wear stickers on the tonneau cover LOOK INSIDE

I could get them made without the side pieces for now but I would really like to have the side pieces done too. all I need is a trace around them.

Re: Vinyl wear stickers on the tonneau cover LOOK INSIDE

I went out first thing this morning to trace the side pieces but for some reason I don't have them on my car... sorry dude. You're right though it would be better to have a complete kit. I can see where the paint is scuffed right where those side pieces would cover.

Re: Vinyl wear stickers on the tonneau cover LOOK INSIDE

If all you need is a trace I will try and remember to go to my car after work today and trace them out for you. It's hard to remember to do things like this when the car isn't stored at my house you know

Re: Vinyl wear stickers on the tonneau cover LOOK INSIDE

As long as I get one. They need to be exact though since I don't have them on mine. This will be the final spec on it. Also it doesn't matter if it is just a trace of just one of the side pieces because they should be symmetrical. I will get a prototype made first just like anything else but this will not be something that will take forever but it is not a cheap project either so bear with me.

John, what is the hardwear attached to the inside edge of your tonneau in the 1st picture? I don't have that. Thanks!

Re: Vinyl wear stickers on the tonneau cover LOOK INSIDE

That's right for shoulder belts. That is a borrowed pic mine doesn't have should belts either. They were only on the 89+ verts. Anybody get that trace for me? I am going to try and get these done this week hopefully but I want the side pieces done too.

Re: Vinyl wear stickers on the tonneau cover LOOK INSIDE

I just traced mine, send me your e-mail and I will scan in tomorrow at work and e-mail it to you, or I can fax it or snail mail.
I put a piece of paper over the decal and scribbled on the paper, the edge of the decal left a dark outline in the scribbling. I could only do the passenger side as the divers side is wrinkled.
I don't want any money for it, just want to be able to buy a new decal for less than 100. Hopefully car goes into paint in the next 30 days.

Re: Vinyl wear stickers on the tonneau cover LOOK INSIDE

I would rather have it sent so that way I know it is exact.

I know it would be alot easier scanning but I want to be sure everything is exact or in my mind this would be a waste. I really appreciate it. Thanks

I was getting ready to go trace it for you but saw that Jeff has already helped you out. I can't wait to be able to buy one of these.
Hey Jeff, are you coming to the cruise with FAST on March 9th? I'm going but probably going to end up driving my gf's IROC-Z.

Re: Vinyl wear stickers on the tonneau cover LOOK INSIDE

Just wanted to make sure you received the paper with the shape of the little side decals, and that they provided you with the information you needed.
Also checking in to see your progress, I think my car will go in for paint next week and trying to decide what to do... Buy an older (yellowed) set for an unbelievably high price, buy some of the 3M Clear Mask, wait and get a set from you.
Thanks again, -Jeff

Great, thanks for the update.
If those don't work I can try to peel off one of the decals and send it over when I drop the car off for paint.
Thanks again.
