Pop rivets normally hold the retainer, though some people change to sheet
metal screws.
Measure and mark the front center of the top (chalk) to aid in aligning.\,
using the
windscreen centerbar as a guide.
Use contact adhesive on the center 1/3 of the header to start. Once your
satisfied with the centering
and tightness, glue the outer edges. Finally wrap the top material around
the header bar and glue.
Use an awl or scribe to find holes for the retainer and rivet or screw in
place.
Trim off excess material. Add your new seal.
