Tonneau cover

Hi folks - I have a problem with both the tonneau covers on our MGF'S - they seem to be shedding what looks like a sand type substance which is a real pain when you take them off - is there any tricks to prevent this ? -Cheers Marty

Trophy cars Peterborough

Just a shout out for this dealer as I know people have asked if they are any good - Had a front wheel bearing on the wife's F done all in for £45 while I waited - helpful and friendly service - good price and lots of cars to look around - happy with that.
