<DIV>Those straps are for supporting the convertible top cover when the hard top
is installed, There are two of them, and the wire hooks fit into holes on the
hard top rear strip. The forward end is held to the front hard top stowage
cavity wall with two rivets. Your photo looks like the proper location. The hard
top cover (or tonneau) has a male snap connector that attaches to the
spring-loaded female connector on the strap. See photos. You need to put a large
washer under each rivet, or make up a support plate with holes at the proper
location) to prevent the rivets from pulling through the web material. There can
be a lot of pressure put on these straps from articles thrown onto the cover.

<DIV>These straps can be made fairly easily using web material from hiking or
climbing accessory straps. They are available just about everywhere. It looks
like you have one to use as a template to make another. If not. let me know – I
have made a couple from an original, and have the correct dimensions.</DIV>

<DIV id=yui_3_16_0_1_1438886464093_19239>I have a couple of what appears to be a
top boot strap. See attached pictures - is this where it is suppose to
go? What is the length of this strap and material? Not sure what the
'J' hook is for? Appears strap attaches to body with rivets. 1966
