Does the Tonneau Cover reduce rub marks?

Actually I've found a pink bath towel to be the best. Not only does it eliminate ALL rub marks, it also increases horsepower and improves throttle response.

And if a sudden cloudburst appears you can use it to dry off your seats and yourself.

Just had to do that on the fourth. You bet having the towel came in real handy...

Thanks man. Is your vert VR? In photos I have a hard time distinguishing VR from IOM. VR can have an orange cast to it in bright sun light.

Couldn't resist dropping it at least once, during "break-in".
No more.

it would seem that the top would experience a lot more moving around without the use of the Tonneau Cover, hence the rub marks?

Just a thought

Which color will affect the mileage?

I may buy a varity of colors and use each color depending on my preference that day.

If I feel the need for speed, I can use the Pink one.
If I just want to put some easy miles on it, I'll use whatever color that will improve my milage.
Etc, Etc.

I think it's ridiculous that we have to manually out on a tonneau cover and even more reediculous attest we have to lay down a towel first. Lookin forward to this new top design in production!

I agree not having to mess with the tonneau cover and a towel would be very nice. However I look at their use along the same lines as using the double bucket method and a leaf blower to wash and dry my car. Anything that helps protect and maintain the appearance of the car is to me just a minor inconvenience.
