A correction, three latches, not just two. And center hook piece sometimes includes a mirror mounting. (T-6 ?)

Hello,
I have a 57 T1 Speedster and I would like to buy the 1\3 pc. that covers the folded top, and snaps on to the body. (Tonneau cover?)
My question is, is the layout of the existing fasteners all typical? If yes how can I check to see if mine are correct ? The existing fasteners were on the car when I bought it. and I don't know anyone I might borrow one from to trial fit it with.
Also, what is your price for a black one, including shipping?
TIA, Ray

That cover is called the top boot. I can’t remember if mine came with the snaps already in place or not, but I am sure you can get the boot bare and install them yourself.
