The automatic release snaps are available from LeBaron Bonney (800/221-5408). They are mounted on the rear sides of the top where the top follows the curve of the irons. If your top doesn't fold down completely, check the far back iron (the one with the wood on the top) to see that it is loose enough on the pivots to fall back as the top is lowered. As to the top boot, we get ours without the snaps mounted, and install them after the top is in place. Then the top is lowered, and the boot is marked to match the half of the snaps that extend across the body just behind the top well. The boot is marked, and the snaps put in the boot. We buy all of our tops and parts from L-B because we know everything will fit and is first class quality. I have a card attached to the inside of he header bow to remind me to unsnap the edges of the top before lowering. If you don't unsnap, it is likely the top will be ruined. I tuck the folds of the top as it is lowered evenly between the irons so the top will be low enough to allow the boot to be snapped in place.
