Convertible back seat help please

Maybe they changed the design from 67, this is the original, cover one family car.


Mine has a hook device on the inside and hooks into the metal rails of the top.

I forced the cover around the outside and could snap the snaps but the hook and the seat side are so tight there would be wear marks. (There are none)

That's what our original '68 boot looks like. I don't think the design changed for '69, but I'm not positive.
