I'm about to fit a tonneau on av 71 TR6. Can anyone tell me the best way to do this? Sequence of attaching the buttons? Any snags?

Not done one, but I would do it like a hood.

I would fit to the front dash (are the holes already punched, easier if they are).

Then pull back in the middle and fit on the centre line line making sure its symetrical.

Then start moviing out to the sides and do the doors last.

When I did mine I made the mistake of not doing all the front attachments first - so now only attach in two places at front which is not ideal.  I agree.  fit all front (dash fittings first then go to centre back
