Look me up at LOG. We can get a drink together and compare our Elans.

Terry
Without the extra zippers you can't tuck the tonneau behind the seat without undoing a number of snaps. Very inconvenient! Why they make that version I have no idea. However you must specify the extra zippers. Speak with Ben at Paul Matty. He is familiar with the issue. There is a also a thread covering this from Nov. 2016 by, coincidentally, TerryP which discusses this in detail. I'll try to post additional photos later.

Tony,
They have drinks at LOG? :lol: . You may remember me from LOG 36. I gave you a bolt to repair your Super Seven exhaust.
