I (mostly) installed a new tonneau cover on my 4A today. At some point the PO recovered the dash and did not install the snaps for a tonneau. Since I haven't had one till now, it really hasn't been a problem.

Does anyone have pictures, or would be willing to take pictures, of their dash with proper snap locations? I suppose a 250/6 would work as well, as I imagine they are the same.

Thanks, and happy motoring.

My (Moss) tonneau was very tight when I installed it and later shrank to the point where it would not reach that center pair of snaps. To be able to use it I made a slightly modified plate that positions those snaps about a half inch rearward:

I expect the plates are available from the usuals -- but can be easily fashioned from some sheet metal and snaps.
 
Thanks to you both. Looks like I need to pick up a set of mounting plates and I'll be all set. My top is pretty tight as well, I hope it doesn't shrink too much.
