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
