    Hello: I just purchased 1997 Ferrari 355 spider. It came with a black boot cover (to put over the lowered top) but it has no fasteners?? Is it possible to buy and install fasteners or do I have to buy a new boot cover? If I can buy fasteners which ones do I need an how do I install them?

    Just look for Loxx(Tenax) fasteners in your country (?).

    Find the ball size from the screws (4.7mm?) and go from there. Are your screws chrome/16mm?

    The tonneau on my 348 is attached with press studs . Nothing remarkable. Any hobby craft type shop will supply a kit to attach them .

    Interestingly of the various cabs over the years ( currently run a boxster along side so have a direct back to back comparison ) the cockpit of the 348 is the least windy with the hood down , the most calm . No wind central wind deflector either which many a German cabriolet depends on .

    From a “ hair do “ pov wife likes it as no need to wear a head scarf in the Ferrari .

    Marenello got that bit right crop chopping / cabriolet ing the 348 and later 355 platforms.

    Sometimes when you drop your toast it lands butter side up .

    They might be missing because that’s how they come when you buy a replacement from shops like GAHH.
