Will,
I've got a regular snap at the bottom of each windscreen pedestal and a
lift-dot on the right side of the center support. On the rear, there is no
side hook but only the deck clips and lift-dots. I've got a zipper about 3
in. long right in front of the last dot on the side so I can just unsnap the
front and fold the whole thing behind the seats, taking the place of the
hood cover. The 3 in. zippers are to let the seat belt through. I love the
thing and when I'm by myself, using the passenger side cover decreases the
drag of an open cockpit. It also keeps papers and stuff from flying around.
