Home sick project: fix flapping tonneau

[tortuga]

Home with the flu "resting"
Bought the lift a dot kit with the machine thread studs (8-32) and the crimp on dots. Marked and installed one of the dots on the tonneau mid passenger door above the side curtain ferrule. This is a bit of a trick as you crimp to the upper layer of the two layer vinyl cover...takes a bit of maneuvering with some little dental tools.

The neat little device consists of one of the studs, an 8-32 coupler, another 8-32 bolt with its head ground off and finally a plastic know with 8-32 threads. I ardjusted the length then loctite red'd everything and put some shrink wrap to finish.

So install consists of putting the top on normally with th fwd passenger corner left open, reach under stick the little pin up through snap the cover on and done.

No more big gap over the door.
