On mine it locates in the steering wheel pocket, around the roll bar and rear view mirror. It has a bungee cord on each side that most hook into their exhaust opening. Three plastic / fiberglass rods support it. The under side is a soft felt line nmaterial as well as behind the eyelit where the bungee cord attaches. Mine seems to fit and stay in place very well. Have not had it in the rain yet but looks like it will work great. Assuming you will need one custom made you can make it a little larger to ensure a good solid location and fit.

Here is a copy of the answers to similar question that I had. I hope it helps.

Answers to your questions:

Sizing: We'll prepare a cloth pattern & instructions which you would fit to your RUCC. For
non-FFR Cobras this is the only way we know the final product will fit to your/our
satisfaction. This is the process we've used for Hurricane, Classic, Kirkham, etc.
All have been satisfied.

Color: Always Black vinyl ( we did make one Blue cover as a special favor).

Ordering: When we've answered your questions, you just tell us to proceed and we'll
get a pattern prepared and mailed to you.

Cost: $220 which includes S&H.
This cost represents our normal $170 including S&H price + $50 to cover cloth pattern
prep/shipping and Kay's productivity to proceed slowly on a new and one-off-cover.

Timing: When we receive your fitted pattern, delivery can be about 4 weeks or less.
Currently the list is manageable but expands rapidly when weather warms.
Most importantly, our schedule is dictated by our own "road" schedule in our FFR
and our primary duties as Grand Parents.

Padding: Our vinyl has a soft, fuzzy underneath that provides the paint protection you and
we all desire. If its important, I can mail a swatch or include one in with the pattern.

Payment: Our process is pretty simple. We prepare the cover to the info you provide and
ship the cover via UPS. You make sure it fits and is what you wanted and
expected and then you just send a check to the address we include in the
package. Easy Enough?

Process:

For a customer with an FFR, we can always go out to our car and resolve an issues. For those non-FFR kits, we rely on a cotton pattern that you have fit to your car. Your car may be wider or longer, your windshield placement and your roll bar legs, dash mirror and steering wheel locations may be in slightly different from FFR. And you'll be able to judge the "lay" of the pattern on your car and how it rolls up at the wheel well arches. Your fitting of the pattern resolves all these issues, and assures you/us the final cover will be satisfactory. To make the fit, you'll purchase from Lowes/Home Depot, four of the 48" long orange driveway markers they keep near the For Sale signs and mail boxes. These will be placed appropriately across your cockpit front to rear and support the pattern. The final cover will have our rods cut to length and sewn into place and bungees & hooks attached.
