  How do you put the snaps on the 40 convert with out scr*w*ng up
?? Which holes were used on the original install .there are 1/4 inch hole next to smaller holes

  The original boot snaps scr*w*d directly in to the body belt. No nuts were required to hold them in place. Not certain what those 1/4" holes are in your car but obviously not "factory".

You can get similar to the correct type of snaps from Lebaron. Unfortunately you can't get concourse correct.

  Wel I am not a concourse kind of guy,, but I have owned the car since 1965 and there was nothing in the holes. When I took it apart. Curious there are a few of them .. I had a Lebanon and Bonney put on just recently but the installer did not want to put the snaps in ,, I am thinking of back drilling to put the snaps in the right place.
