<p class="MsoNormal">Neil,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do not quite understand what you are asking here but I have a BN6 and the tonneau cover is held at the front by a turnbuckle on the driver side and the passenger side> Each turnbuckle is secured to the dashtop by two screws and there
is also a “Tenax “ fastener that holds the passenger side of the tonneau cover immediately next to the zipper very close to the rearview mirror. Nothing else holds the tonneau cover at the front. There are no rivets anywhere at the front.

<div dir="auto">I need to install several turn buttons to hold the front end of my new tonneau cover to the trim over the inner panel scuttle top. I believe the visible vinyl covers a hardboard or similar semi rigid backing. Am I right in thinking that I need
to use blind rivets to go all the way through this trim piece to attach the turn button to the steel inner panel scuttle top? Or should this be a screw attachment to the steel? Comments please.</div>
