We had the same dilemma (I think) on my Devin and an enterprising shop
solved the problem. Unfortunately I don't have great shots of the
tonneau (and the car is in the Poconos not here) but here's one:

(if the URL wraps you can cutnpaste or drop starting with &photoID= )
then select the last picture)
The roll bar's points are at the end of the "flaps" with vinyl sewn
around them; the brace has a zippered slit leading to it from the
rear. Also I posted a couple pix to alt.binaries.pictures.autos which
show a bit better how we got around the roll cage on the Devin; look
for Subject: 1964 Devin, or Ontologist as the poster.
Norm (also, there were pre-existing snaps on the car already which made
the decision easier :-)
