.. hmm.. this is what William said as well but the top has a metal
plate extending downward that touches the support tube for the soft
top hoop. There is a hole through this metal plate into the soft top
support tube. Looks like a # 6 or so sized hole. I guess that I'll
take a look and see if there is some other means for attaching it but
this looks like it. The red metal part is what I'm talking about.
