  Yep, it is. I saw that boot also (I have an automated e-bay search
set up for "dakota convertible") :-) Pretty pricey though - somewhere
around $500 I think. (That was actually the 2nd time I saw that cover
listed so I guess he didn't sell it the first time either.) I think if
I ever need to remove the top I'll just use a couple of straps to hold
it closed and throw a tarp over it. :-) Plus, I live about 10 minutes
away from Amish country and there is an excellent leatherworker there
who could probably build me a custom boot for a lot less money. :-)

  Thanks for the heads-up though!
