As the top is almost fully folded open, it appears that hinges should sit into those depressions (cups) on the rear shelf. That is not the case. Lift the bar that is attached to those hinges. There is a second set of hinges that sit in the cups. The lid will fall into place.
Of course when you start to fold the top, you must lift the first bar upwards and keep it from jamming on the canvas as you fold.
I fold the canvas in a up/down/up/down pattern. Like a "W".
I put the front of the rear window into the front most fold so the boot cover will fit tightly.

It took me a year before I fully figured it out. Now it takes me less that a few minutes to do the deed.
I got a new boot cover last year and it all works and looks like it should, finally.

Hope this helps.

Where did you get your boot cover from?

 

Rich and Famous Auto Tops Inc.

Van Nuys, CA

Rich & Famous Auto Tops

Very helpful, They emailed me a list/color chip chart plus I sent them a photo of my rear seats for a good (not perfect) color match.
My rear seats are original and have "aged" a bit in the sun.
Included all new Tenax snaps but you have to punch the holes in the right places and install the Tenax clips. It's not too difficult if you have the old boot cover to use as a guide.

I think it was about $450 plus shipping.
