<< t's been bugging me that my hood stick cover doesn't stay tucked under the
 center of the hood stick, and quickly starts flapping in the breeze.  Does
 anyone have a good idea for keeping it tucked in tightly?  I've been
 thinking of bonding some Velcro to the inner surface.  It won't show once
 installed.

There should be lift the dot fasteners along the inner upper edge of the 
cockpit rear. If memory serves there are 5 in my 58 and 3 in the TR3B. Hard 
to explain but there should be one in the center and one at each left and 
right corner. If they're not there on your car you'll need to get the studs 
with the threads and nut, and the female lift the dot plates/retainers for 
the cover. I think you'll have to pull the tonneau capping to install the 
studs. I would also bet you find the holes for them when you do. Be sure to 
put the lift the dot plates on the cover so you can pull (undo) them from 
above. Also the plates are installed kinda "upside down" so the lift the dot 
words face the inside of the cover.
