Default Keeping Tonneau cover Open

I am doing some detail work in the top storage area and of course the tonneau cover releases pressure at 10 minutes and closes. Tried searching. Is there a simple way to keep it open so I don't have to keep opening it? Thanks

I bungled mine to the garage door track when replacing the top.

After the pressure bleeds off, you can raise the back bow (top) and the tonneau cover and put a piece of wood between them to hold it open.

Thanks for the input. I can't believe that a car so over engineered and overbuilt did not have a solution built in. Didn't they think guys like us would have fun keeping it open for an afternoon "detailing things". I was thinking of a 2x4. Thanks for some "softer ideas" I hope someone has a solution, like maybe some top replacement guys??
