Parade or racing tops

Has anyone ever seen or heard of putting a Parade or Racing top on an R129? I am talking about the covers that cover up the passenger seat and area behind the seats? If so, where can one be found? It may have another name, but that is what I am familiar with what they are called?
Thanks

They are called tonneau covers. I know MB calls the thing over the soft top that. But, I've had real sports cars for over 45 years, and we called the covering over the passenger tub (with a zipper between driver/passenger) a tonneau cover.

I have called them Tonneau covers as well, but couldn't find any references on line to that. Any idea where to find one, with out making my own?

If you had the first of the 190 and 300sl ( in the 50's ) they came with it, as well as small connectors that broke off, stolen by friends or rusted! the R 129's were not set up with them in my experience.
