Default 1936 sedan trunk back convert questions

Hi everyone, still sorting out items on my recently acquired sedan convertible. Pretty sure the top will need to be replaced because it sat for many years. In spite of the top looking good, it is very ridged and was cracking and separating between layers when I put it down.
The hold down straps and hardware were missing and I need those. There was a nice boot in the trunk, but I need to put the snaps on. My question is, does anyone have pictures of where all the snaps go and how the boot tucks down across the back? I currently have six snaps on the front/outside and I know six snaps go on the front/inside, but wind gets under the boot across the back. Does that snap somewhere?
Thanks!

Assuming your top is as Ford built it, you will probably find the answers in this: https://www.faxonautoliterature.com/...-with-Envelope

Thank you 38 Coupe. Yes, I do have this booklet, but it’s hard to see the illustrations. Was hoping someone had actual photos of their boot on the car
