Dissuaded by niether the challenge nor lack of shared interest, I have kept at this.

Last week Tuesday Morning featured a new improved version of my tonneau. The quality of material is first rate and it is in black with just a small, easy to cover Animal Planet logo. The dimensions are 55" X 57". It features four adjustable straps and is heavily water resistant. Product number is AP0036-blk. Full retail is $20, offered for $10.

Not perfection but an inexpensive fully functional cheap compromise that does its job very well.
