Really? You can't be bothered to go look?

On mine (I have an '81), I could go to the air vents, which are metal.
Others could attach a strap to the poptop hinge, have that come out from
under, and tie to that. Or you could drop down in front of the wheel
arch to the rear jack sockets, or behind the wheel to the rear engine
mount. It's not hard to figure out, unless you're being deliberately obtuse.
