Thanks for your photo and the mention of no screws in the area boxed . I do have a question...if the portion of the top is to be put on the well side do you have to cut the fabric to cross over to the outside of the belt line?....without cutting a vertical cut of about one inch to enable the edge material to be long enough to be secured, I cannot pull the material that goes over the body edge to be fastened under the retainer... Am I missing something?

as you can see in the red and cream colored car there are 2 styles of cut transitions AND some are sewn in the split area to actually transition over the lip and others are just cut(90% of them), pull the side panel down and make sure you to NOT cut past the pull down area and tack strip(you don't want it showing when you drop the top). I only cut mine 2.5 inches or so. and it drains the water nicely along with letting the top fold down without stressing the fabric, but mine and the last 2 I did were Ez-On tops
