I think that setup is similar to the top I put on my 70 Mk3 in this regard.
The two bold holes allow the bar (black plate) to be bolted to the rear
deck. The top is glued to the underside and riveted to the bar using those
three fastners. When the top is up, those three snap fastners do nothing.
If the top is down, the hood cover, snaps to these three and the other snap
fastners around the rear cockpit. If you use a tonneau, the tonneau also
snaps to these three and the other snap fastners around the rear cockpit as
well.
Hope that helps.
