<div dir="auto">I generally like to keep things original, but have had that strap on many cars and eventually snip it off as I never use it. I think long ago I had a Sprite or something that still had the original attachment point, but for the life of me can't remember exactly where the snap was. The passenger seat kinda sorta makes sense as the driver might be able to attach somewhat by sight, and not just by feel. Now I want to see a pic of an original snap. Although I think the tonneau was an option on the TR4, so dealer or customer installed, maybe the answer is that it varies.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Greg Lemon </div><div dir="auto">TR250</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 29, 2020, 1:46 PM andrew uprichard <<a href="mailto:auprichard@uprichard.net">auprichard@uprichard.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="m_5235082119586300894WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1f497d">Like, Dave, I too wondered where this strap attached.
