Rattling (of the cover) isn't usually a problem when under way, from just a
few miles per hour the Bernoulli effect lifts it taut.  I used spray
adhesive to glue the cover onto the header rail. Lyndsay Porter in his
'Guide to Purchase and DIY Restoration of the MGB', republished as 'The MGB
Restoration manual' has a very good description of installation.  Folding is
all when it comes to wrinkling, although I only have experience of the fixed
type of rear window, see http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/wn_bodyframe.htm and
click on 'Roadster hood/top'.
