Hi Rob

I think those are called tenax fasteners in the front! Anyway, I find that if 
you try to fit the fasteners thru the flap the material gets too thick for 
the fasteners. I see a lot of cars with the flap cut off. What I did was 
"capture" the edge of the flap with the tenax fastener, to hold it in place. 
Both my cars leaked from the top/windscreen before and they don't now. YMMV
