[TR] tonneau strap

[dave]

I’m going to attach it to the seat frame that bolts into the floor (if it will reach!)

 

That would be different than on a TR6

Like, Dave, I too wondered where this strap attached.  Does anyone have a picture of the stud on the passenger seat?

On a TR6, the stud is on the passenger seat. (presumably the same on a TR4?)

Seat upholstery covers the hole for the stud. I remember the first time I found one, the stud was actually covered by a previous owners reupholstery job - the stud was still there UNDER the upholstery.

my early TR4 came with this strap hanging down from the tonneau cover.  I have to admit for all the years I’ve owned it (about 10) I have never put a stud in so I can actually strap it down.  Would probably help while out with it half open.

 

Does anyone else have this strap and where have you put the stud?

 

The tunnel, interesting enough, is probably the original cardboard although a previous owner fiberglassed it.  So I could probably attach it there, maybe with a small metal patch to give it some support.
