Hopefully someone who owns a 1929 car will be able to give chapter and verse. My own Tourer is 1933 so not identical but it is fair to say that the same principles apply. The car isn't here for me to demonstrate, alas, but the essence of the matter is to pull the material out to hang behind the car as step 1. As far as I can recall it then becomes rather inevitable where the window ends up - sorry that's little help! The excess material I fold up concertina fashion on top of the folded frame. If I were good at "hospital corners", that would help.
The most constructive remark I can make is that it's worth making a "boot" asap. I managed without one for some years but the general flapping and untidiness of the folded hood finally got to me and I certainly wish I'd done it before.
I used conventional straps with buckles for years until a friend suggested using bicycle toe clip straps. These have an ingenious and simply released buckle mechanism (e. g. eBay item number: 402432383364 )
which I found to be the perfect solution.
