The hook just attaches to the rain gutter almost straight up. You're 
right, if you leave the tabs in the holes when you let the cover lean 
all the way back it will just bend the anchor points. The cover was 
never designed to do that. This may be an oversight, but the best 
thing to do is simply remove the cover from the car if you need to 
work in there.
