[Spits] Tonneau cover attachment

[Doug Braun]

My tonneau (original, I believe) has plain grommets on the front.
But you have
to stretch it a bit to attach them to the pegs,
and it stays on no problem.
My biggest complaint is that the rough bottom of the grommet scratches
the
paint on the air vents...
