I would also like to order a batch. Anybody from here who can help?

Thanks

I'm happy to go for both, any more orders to make up a batch?

Yes, it is easy and quick to fit. What you describe is actually the main reason for wanting a cover for the Nomad. I had several instances with kids and adults thinking it was OK to climb on and in the Atom!

Is the storm cover quick to fit? Not so much as to keep the weather out, more badly behaved kids (and parents) who think its ok for them to climb into the "cute buggy".

A couple more of the hood from inside. The rear is tensioned by straps with velcro loops around the frame. The front is fixed by slotting a loop of material between frame and screen into which is inserted 2 rods.

Hope this helps anyone looking for a hood solution. Feel free to ask any questions.

I’ve had a hood and storm cover made for my Nomad this week and very happy with the results. Hood was £470 in black mohair and cover £460 in 4oz pu nylon.

The company is All Wheel Trim Ltd in Witney
, Oxfordshire 01993 776800. They are willing to make more but, as they didn’t make a template, would either need your Nomad or, if they have a batch of orders, then I am happy for them to borrow my hood/cover to use as patterns. They are busy so not sure on lead times. I have no affiliation with them so just a happy customer.

Thanks, I have been quoted £300-£400 by a local company, who are having the car in July. Ollie, who started this, is also looking into one. At least we now have more options.

Theres also two large pockets on the inside which you could further sub divide / customise.

Yes it attaches as you say. It will still leak between the top of the screen and the soft top but you could find a rubber filler strip somewhere I guess. They have kept a template. I'm not sure about price as they do other work for my company but it isn't cheap! I think it will be at least £750-850.

Very neat and looks secure. Looks like it wraps around in a double skin with zips and velcro? Did they take a template to replicate and how much?

I had Matt Hill make me one and he did a great job - WWW.MATTHILLCOACHTRIMMING.COM

No worries - Will keep you updated with what I come up with!

I am also interested in getting a roof. Plan to contact some local trimmers so will also let you know if I get anywhere.
