[Healeys] Robins Top Question

I have finally managed to source a wood header piece for my 65 BJ8 and
have it wrapped in offwhite vinyl, the top bows have been stripped and
repainted - so, ready to start working on installing the top.

The original aluminum header piece that attaches to the wood header and
forms the seal at the windshield was originally 1/2 wrapped in black
vinyl.

Looking at some color photos - it's pretty clear that this piece should
be wrapped in vinyl to match the top.

Thus the question - the Robins top came with 2 pieces of matching fabric
- 1 piece is obviously the cut out from the window.  The other is a
rectangle about 8" x 52".  No vinyl material came with the top.

Is the rectangular piece used to wrap the leading edge of the aluminum?
