Fair call. I should have worded my post better as I didn't mean it to read that I was disagreeing with anyone, just making an observation with the original ordering paperwork (New Car Order form/options list) for my HJ that there was no mention of a tonneau being requested/ordered yet they were on the vehicle when it was delivered.

Just noticed I didn't finish the question I was half way through writing too (specs now on so I wont get out of sequence again), sorry about that. Those strips look a little thicker than ones I've seen previously on HJs, were they original?

Mine also had OEM Holden strips fitted (narrow ones), but on the non hanging panels they were fixed with a type of rivet that was fixed through drilled holes which I ended-up welding up and filing back.

Sorry about that, my minds a million miles away tonight.
