When you find them, somebody, post them!

My wife and I were surprised on a coolish day (that's why the top was up) to
have the front come loose from the windscreen!  Figured out that the webbing
is supposed to keep the frame back where it belongs and not let the top
force it forward.  I have a roll of TRF-supplied webbing that a netter sold
me, but no idea how to mount it or what dimensions it must have.
