Default Tonneau Cover ?

Does anyone make a tonneau cover for the C-5 Convertible?
I mean the type similar to those on old 60s roadsters ( MG, Triumph, Jag, etc).
I hate to ride around with the top up and down here in the South its not necessary, but when I park the car, I want more than just a cloth car cover.
THANKS A LOT.

Probably, you'll have to have it custom made by an upholstery shop. The problem is going to be adding snap fasteners to body to hold it in place. Do you really want to do that?

You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! about not wanting to drill a bunch of holes in my new C5.
I hoped that modern technology might have come up with something better, but still serve the same purpose.
A society that can pack 3 GAZALLION watts of stereo in a Honda can surely invent a tonneau cover that works without drilling holes for snaps.
I got nutin agin Hondas or stereos, I'se just OLD (school).
