Recently i bought the one piece SALEEN tonneau cover for my 03 gt vert (Saleen clone) the brackets on the cover won't seem to slip under the metal thing that wraps around the bottom of the convertible top(not sure what it's called but it's the piece that's usually black and separates the car from the top) Anyone else ran into this problem?

I have the piece for my 96 cobra (saleen clone) and its a rough fit but it hold. It takes two people to fit mine on but it isn't too bad. Do you have a light bar or styling bar?

bpb713

Yes I have a CDC lightbar.. The square plates on the back of the cover don't look like they will slide under the lip .. Almost like they should be lower.. I've tried puttin it on w two ppl I just don't see it working.. Those will fit any car from 94 04 won't they?? And does yours have any brackets to mount on car or does it just slide in and hook up to the seat belt?

Dbranham

It just hooks up and fastens in. Are the brackets square or are the corners cut? And I believe they fit all 94-04

bpb713

My brackets are just square and I think there is one on each corner and one in center

Dbranham

Mine have the corners cut off just enough to slid it under. What is the edge the would be right next the your bar like? Cause if it's just off line mine is you might wanna get something to cover it up cause it will scratch the bar like it did on mine.

bpb713

Alright I'll make sure to watch out for that. Do you mind taking a picture of your corners? I hate to ask but I would really appreciate it.. Maybe shaving down my corners will fix my prob so it'll line up right

Dbranham

I can later tonight I'll even take a few of my styling bar.

bpb713

Thanks bro.. I really hope to get it straightened out in time for warm weather

Dbranham

Haha yeah. However I forgot to mention but mine is a two piece. I wish it was a one price cause it looks way nicer. But fitment should be the same right. Lol.

bpb713

I wish mine was the two piece so I could store in the trunk

bpb713

No pic?

Dbranham

Sorry been busy lately. I can get pics of the piece itself but not style bar pictures because the cobra is in the shop. Sorry bout the late reply.

bpb713

No prob dude I appreciate it.. I mainly just wanted to see your brackets anyway.. No rush

Dbranham

Haha I found them. They were locked up. Here's the only picture I could get without getting them out

bpb713

Thanks bro mine doesn't have the spacer between the cover and the bracket so I guess that's what's causing it not to work..my bracket sits almost with the cover. Hmmm that's weird considering mine is not aftermarket, it's a true Saleen part so If I had to guess I would have imagined that it at some point was on a Saleen.. Oh well im gonna take off my brackets and put some washers or something behind it and see how that turns out.. Thanks

Dbranham

I'm sure mine is not a real saleen. I bought the car with the body kit already on it. It did have all the saleen stickers everywhere by I got those removed cause the cops thought it was weird that a 16 year old was driving a saleen

Dbranham

Plus I didn't like the stickers on there anyways plus they were fading

I may be a lil too late but... I've.got the saleen one pc. And I had the same problem. I just took vise grips and bent them just a little bit, and they worked fine
