Butch, there are eleven rivets (similar to pop rivets but smaller) evenly
spaced along the top of the strip. They are right behind the small "bump" at
the top front. The two screws that you mention are to hold the front side
edges of the hood (top in American English) itself. If this is not clear
come back to me. Cheers.
