When I bought the car it had at some point in its recent past had the convertible top replaced. Apparently the tenax fasteners were not reinstalled with it, and the car did not come with its convertible top boot cover. I ordered a cover from TopsOnline and it came with 8 tenax-style fasteners plus 2 more screw type posts, as well as some other hardware. Nothing is pre-installed on the cover, and the cover is marked to align it with what it assumes are tenax snaps already on the car.
My pictures are of the convertible top in its current condition (no attaching points for the boot) and an example of the fasteners that came with the boot. Where do these things screw into? If the boot and Tenax fasteners were a factory item as the manual seems to indicate, should I find pilot holes already drilled somewhere, perhaps under the convertible top? Help is much appreciated, as I've tried to find these answers under normal internet research and have come up blank.
I'll get a pick of my '95 straight away.
The fasteners you show are both the stud that screws through the top and the snap that goes through the cover, connected. The fasteners in the back are more traditional snaps.

Thank you so much for those pics! I'm starting to understand this layout now. All I think I need now is an idea of spacing. Is there any way you could measure out the spacing between each fastener and snap? I guess I would only need half way around, say, start at the driver's side fastener and measure the spacing between each fastener (from the center of each piece) up to the rear snap on that side?
Starting with the fastener on the top bow, immediately behind the door, I measured 12" from the first to the second tenax. From the second to the third, I measured 10 3/8". Going from the third to the back, the curve didn't play nicely with my tape measure, and I didn't have a flexible one available. The more traditional snap was 10 1/4" from either edge of the deck lid.
