Randall, I had the same problem with that tonneau from Moss.
Unfortunately, it came with the "package" I bought from the previous
owner who had started renovation. I am planning to do the same as I
did with my 190SL and have it custom made locally. It was far
superior in quality and actually much cheaper.
If interested I'll be happy to provide you with details
