Rich,
Great thanks for help!.. Most useful as always..
Would you have a picture of the front corner arrangement?
BTW, Why was the rear turn button fastener placed hidden on a strap?
Many thanks,
Tadek

Tadek,
About the first of July 1954, the tonneau cover cut and design was modified
to cover the door cockpit rails and the front corners better by being
slightly wider and the front corner shape squaring off further forward.
Prior to this point the tonneau was cut to approximately parallel the
curvature of door to fascia cockpit rail shape, covering over by only about
1 1/2". (see pic mar08 004 for early arrangement)
Then new improved design made use of turn button fasteners in the front
corners, where prior design used a Tenax snap. A second stud (actually a
small Tenax stud) was now used to secure the windscreen steady spring when
not in use. (see pic 20021). To clear this front corner stud and not cause
the stud to eventually wear through the tonneau material, a nickeled finish
eyelet or grommet was incorporated into the tonneau cover.
The rest of the tonneau fasteners remained as before, with a single Tenax
fastener on the upper fascia just to the passenger's side of the mirror.
(see tonneau in pic BN1 027)
Moving back on the car, a pair of small flaps immediately behind the doors
had eyes fitted to fasten onto turn button studs on the rear wings. These
flaps are sewn into the underside of the tonneau cover. (see pic
AH100-4pris)
>From there, two Tenax fasteners, one on each side, snap onto the studs on
the rear wing and another pair on the rear shroud deck, same as the top fits
to.
Finally at the back edge of the tonneau cover, a pair of short flat steel
plates, painted black, are sewn into small slot openings in the rear edge.
These slip under the rear deck chrome anchor brackets, and everything pulls
forward from there.
I've described all the fasteners from front to back, but of course in
fitting the tonneau cover, you start from the back and work forward.
