rick,
thanks for the stuff.  the soft top boot is very nice, but i'm afraid
i'm having difficulty working out how to fit it.  i think my soft top
frame is probably not mounted correctly which stops the top going down
far enough.

here are some pictures (you can click on each thumbnail to see them):

i assume you are supposed to clamp the supplied spring clips to the
back of the vinyl piece so they can clip on to the tonneau studs.  and
then somehow attach the side pieces to the press studs near the b
pillar.  as the third picture shows, this requires the material to be
streched a fair bit, is that correct?

then i'm guessing the front side of the cover should attach to the
press studs on the 'back seat' roll pad (picture 5).  the problem here
is twofold: i don't have any female press studs to attach to the boot
and its not going to strech over the folded down top without pulling
the tonneau studs out of the back.  do you stock the press studs?  is
there something unusual about my setup?

and the final question is, what is the pupose of the two sort of
tonneu studs that are attached to the top of the central piece of the
boot? (one is visible on picture 4).

thanks for your help,

- owain.
