A better view of the chamfered hole for wing nut securing canvas at front.

This is the corresponding thread for the securing wing nut.

Because the metal angle piece that holds the canvas was still in place when I got the roof, I didn't know what would be underneath it until I removed the wing nuts. I was very relieved to see no perforation or dents. The water drip rail is slightly damaged here, but will be very simple to put right. I considered doing it this afternoon, but sat there until the feeling passed.

The rear upper corners of the roof have two loops for securing the canvas cord. All of them are in exceptional condition, and don't need to be mucked with.

There is a metal strip above the inside of the rear window opening, which has two small metal hooks. I haven't looked closely at this, but guess it was some way of securing a canvas cover, in a rolled up position?!?! Window opening has no rust or damage. Neither does the lower edge of the rear.
