Default What car is this off of?

Ok, so I was cleaning out the garage and found this mystery convertible top tonneau cover. I have no idea what car it belonged to, so I obviously have no use for it. I am planning on selling it either on ebay or on a car website devoted to whatever autombile it came off of.

If you can tell me with certainty what car it came off of, I will paypal you $5 upon completion of the sale (as long as it sells for over $75 shipped). Once they recieve the item and tell me that it is, in fact the correct part, you will receive your $5.

Let the games begin!

I can tell you it's NOT from a S2000 or a Z3.

... no one will buy it for $75 unless it's a collectors car. I mean I'd wish they didn't make one for the S2000 and gave me $75 instead.

I can't believe there's not a part number stamped underneath. Looks fancy to me-last gen Mercedes SL maybe.

I have sold the tonneau cover off of several of my cars, including the s2k, for over $75. That's only like $55 plus shipping for a brand new part- not unreasonable in my book.

That's not a bad guess, I was thinking along the same lines. It's obviously a 4 seat convertible soft top.

Nope, We've never had an XK. I'm trying to remember exactly what convertibles we have had over the past few years. It couldn't be from an Audi A4, could it? I'm pretty sure they have self-covering tops.

Hmm, we did have a saab9-3 (obviously) and that was the interior color. The only thing is that we haven't had that car since 2001 and I have no idea how that could have stayed around the garage that long in such good shape. I will look into that...
