Why does my car have so many more tonneau snaps and studs than other MGTDs?
The original tonneau only covered the boot area. This is the space behind the seats. Because of this the only ‘lift the dot’ snaps that are original to the MGTD are the two behind the seat and the three in back above the gas tank. Since most cars now (and then) were fitted with a full tonneau cover, the placements of the snaps forward of the seat were at the discretion of the installer. Each obviously had their own thoughts on how many were used and where they should be placed.
