I've found that using several awls or similar tool instead of the screws to
attach the rail to the drainage channel during trial fit of the top is
helpful. Also, don't push the clips all the way down -- just enough to hold
the top -- until you are satisfied with the fit. The barbs on the clips can
tear the top fabric easily when you try to get them off if you push them all
the way.

Make sure that it fits the drainage channel during the rebuild but
don't fit it permanently. When you mount the top you start by fitting
it to the rear bow and then fold the rear edge over the rail attaching
it with clips. Then you trial fit the rail to the channel checking the
fit of the top. You have to repeat this process numerous times until
the top fits perfectly. Finally you glue the rear edge and use the clip.
