Tonneau Fittings

Good morning Mgers
I have been struggling to get a Moss full tonneau to fit sensibly and I am at the point of attaching two fasteners to each of the rear side tub of the car to hold the tonneau in place.
Does anyone have a view as to whether ‘lift the dot’ fasteners or turnbuckle fasteners are better for full (and half) tonneau fitting?
Thanks

Geoff,MG never used turnbuckle fittings, and lift a dots should do the job perfectly well. Turnbuckles would look inappropriate in my view, and would quite literally, stick out like the proverbial sore thumbs ! [b]:[b]

Geoff, I used lift the dot. However, if yours hasn’t got small side zips get them added so it can fold away behind the seats. I also fitted lift-the-dot fasteners to the cross rail to stop the leading edge from lifting in the wind.
