Yes, that German supplier looks interesting, will need t o translate some of it, I suspect quality is good. The bikini top has that flap behind - looks a bit er... ladylike :D

Don't seem to have straps like that but found there are 5 tabs with poppers that fix onto steel support (along back edge above rear window) - fixed those and it helps a lot, can pull the support rail downwards when fixing bottom poppers and clips. Just need to replace one fixing now (previous owner mashed) and otherwise it's good. Thanks for the tip, i had totally missed those fixings.

Don't have those straps 88. Wondered what those loops on body were for - may also be to hold frame down when hood is off? I assume that is the Monsoon? With those top poppers done on mine it's pretty close now. I will try and replace the damaged corner one and give it a clean. Too many other bits to spend on at the moment!
