First, if there are guide marks (there were tiny holes on mine) on the
cover DO NOT FOLLOW THEM. I made the mistake of following the marks on
mine and it didn't fit. Thank God for Rick, who replaced the cover at
no charge even though the thing had been sitting in a box in my garage
for nearly five years (one of the many reasons I'm a faithful SS
customer).
Mount the snaps from the inside out. That is, mount the front two
center snaps first, then the rear and work your way out to the edges.
To mount the snaps, after you have located where you want it, take the
piece with the prongs on it and make an impression in the cover. I
then took an exacto knife an cut small slits where the impressions were
(be very careful doing this). Then simply punch or cut out the center
hole. You can then mount the "Lift The Dot" snap to the cover.
