Looking for a picture of the back of the top on a 29 Roadster.
How does the top secure there?

Thanks
Dave

It is not really secured to the tack rail, except by studs and snaps. It can be completely removed.
I'm not close to my car to photograph it for you. Perhaps someone will.

Ok, that's what I was thinking. If anyone has a picture of this area that would be great.
The top I have is stapled, I think, to the tack rail.

Look at the thread, "Pics from Cider Mill 5/12/12", by heck91426 There is a photo on page 5 of the link, showing what you want to see.

Thanks, Mike, that helps a bunch. What type of fasteners are they? Lift the Dot or snaps, or?

All Model A Roadsters were done essentially the same. They used "Cinch" studs and eyelets across the rear. The front corners of the quarters used Durable Dot studs or snaps with a special cap on the outside for the side curtain to snap onto.

Additionally the rear curtain had a 1" wide, 1/16" steel strap encased along the bottom supporting the curtain along three fasteners.
