Does anyone have a picture or drawing of the proper way to install the convert top hold down straps? I'm refering to the straps that are used when the top is pulled down. I bought news ones and not really sure on the install. Question

Thanks for pictures. I think I've seen these before. So...when the top is up, I guess you would push the strap under the top so it doesn't flop around???

The attachment point is inside of the back of the Thing. When the top is down, it then runs outside the body, to the loops on the back and then back to the buck. Clear as mud?
