[Healeys] tonneau install procedure -- BT-7

[BJ8 Healeys]

Hi, Al -

I think it's best to start at the center, and work outward alternately on
the sides.  Fold the fabric in half lengthwise to find the centerline, and
mark it with chalk.  This provides a guide to get the tonneau centered on
the car.  Use chalk on the heads of the fasteners on the car so that when
you get the tonneau placed properly you can transfer the chalk to the
underside of the tonneau fabric and thus locate where the tonneau fasteners
should go.

All:

 

I just received a new tonneau from Moss Motors, which arrived without
instructions on the install process.  I don't see anything in the archives
as to whether it's best to start at the front and work back, start at the
back and work front or do the side fasteners first.  Any experience will be
greatly appreciated.

 

BTW, I am completely dis-impressed with the quality of the tonneau on first
look.  I would expect an outdoor item like this to have a substantial
zipper, etc.  [sigh]
