Oh, you're so right. I was thinking I was parked further down, so didn't
zoom in on that one...

Oh, that's clever. I just didn't expect the side zippers to be quite in the
right place, for some reason.
I would think some vinyl tabs or flaps sewn to the cover, with snaps mounted
to the front or the back of the bar, could work. I don't think velcro would
hold very well in suspension, and it would be a little awkward trying to
press the snaps home from underneath, if you had the snaps on the bottom of
the bar attaching directly to the tonneau cover.
I'm thinking I might need one of those windscreens myself, if only to get
the wife comfortable with top-down driving (not top-less driving, which is
altogether different).
