From what i've read, it'll fit straight on, unless you have rollbars/sportsbar. The BF rollbar is shorter in height and mounts to the top of the hardcover.

Try the site sponsor to see if they got any frist, then try your local wreaker or Ford Dealer.

Try the guys at Ferntree Gully Auto Salvage they can ship it up to you. It still might be cheaper than buying a new one from Ford.

AWC hardcovers are the flat style not the hump style.

Well ferntree gulley didn't have the Hard cover in stock so i popped over to a Ford Dealership and ordered one. Already painted with the fitting kit is $2000 flat. For a second i thought it wouldn't be worth it but hardly anyone else has one so i thought might as well. Anyway it arrives tomorrow and i'm going to fit it asap.
I'll be sure to post pics when It's done. |

For the Hard cover I'd say $450 with everything thrown in. You can find the company that makes them here http://www.flexiglass.com.au/ they call it a textured cover. and i can post pics if you request, both the Hard lid and the soft cover are as new condition(I dont think she even used the soft cover by the looks of it)
For the price of the soft cover i have no idea but I'd say around $150 if that sounds good. |
