Can't understand why anybody would want tonneau ropes. Ugliest thing since the UC Sunturd or any modern day Toyota. They cover the gordy Sandman stripe breaking the style aspect and are a very antiquated design. That said, filling all those holes that get drilled and ruin the quarter panel is no easy job to get them straight again. If you are NOT going for 100% original perfection and the quarters look straight there is no way I would be drilling out all them holes again.
